331: Himatangi Beach

This was the first really fine day we have had for ages and the beach was calling. The tide was really high, and I ended up with really wet trousers, but the water was surprisingly warm. Loved the walk. And it was especially good to have a day that provided an inkling that summer might truly be just around the corner- because most of November the weather has not been so good...

  2. It is Kay- and you can walk for miles if you feel so inclined. Can also see Kapiti from here on a good day, but it was a little hazy today.

  4. Yes, I love this beach. Some people don't like it because of the sand colour- but that doesn't worry me in the slightest!

  5. Looks like a lot of the sand around here...greyish when wet!! Lovely beach...want to just walk into it and keep going!

  6. The main rock in the ranges closest to here is called greywacke, so I guess it has mainly eroded from there...

  8. It was a beautiful day Alexia, and we were all sorely in need of it. This afternoon we have gone back to grey skies and more wind- but hopefully our 'dose' will be lighter than what we got last week.
