Purakaunui

About

In Purakaunui, you will be led to a path that will guide you to an inlet containing a large charming bay where you can go swimming or boating. However if a relaxing stroll is what you are after, there is a walking track to the mouth of the bay if you prefer to stay dry. The paths will also be able to guide you to enter a separate beach which provides a spectacular view of the coast along the edges of cliff faces. Close by is also Long Beach, which is another area with fantastic cliff faces which draw in visitors for rock climbing. Located on the far end of Long Beach is also a cave system which is explorable. These caves are said to start rather low, but then quickly open up to large caverns which are used as shelter by the native Blue Penguins.
