We thoroughly enjoyed our swim from Kaiteriteri to Little Kaiteriteri, relishing the playful waves and venturing out to explore the nearby island. This beach is truly enchanting, particularly when illuminated by the moon's soft glow.

Nelson boasts of yet another magnificent beach, with sand that is coarse, gritty and steeply sloping, creating an ideal environment for an exhilarating swim. The best time to take a dip is during high tide, while the mornings are generally calmer.

I absolutely adore bringing my furry companion to this beach during the quieter months. The stunning shoreline is truly a sight to behold, and the lack of crowds only adds to its charm. It's a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the main beach, and I always feel rejuvenated after spending time here.

This little beach is simply stunning, attracting many locals who are in the know. The sand is a beautiful golden hue, and the water is a mesmerizing shade of turquoise - it truly is a sight to behold. I feel incredibly fortunate to have a family holiday home here, and we relish every opportunity to bask in the sun, take a dip in the water, and soak up the glorious surroundings.
