The Beach is right on your doorstep and worth a visit. The weather was fantatsic while we were there so managed to go for a few walks and captured an amazing sunset.

Not a place for swimming but a great beach to walk on & enjoy the sound of the sea and for beach-combing.

Not a beach for swimming. A beach for breathing in the fresh sea air, hearing the crash of the wild sea on the iron sand and skimming perfectly round stones into the receding wave with your 12 year old son all the while watching seals heads pop up to give you a look over while they chase the fish along the shore line. Magic!

Such a great beach, and of course the iconic Hokitika sign. Love the Wild West coast and all the sculptures people have been making with all the drift wood.

Walk along the beach. Great driftwood artwork. Be there for sunset! Got the best photos at this time.

Very cool with all the driftwood sculptures.
Be careful of the waves though when you're kneeling down taking photos - a wave surge soaked me quite nicely.

A lovely place to walk, hunt for green stone, see sculptures made of drift wood. Grab some food and have a picnic.

We brought a picnic and wandered along the beach. The kids had a quick dip (quite rough waves - not really suitable for swimming when we were there). We made sandcastles and collected sparkling stones.

The Hokitika Beach Sculpture event had finished a couple of weeks ago but many of the eclectic sculptures remain on the beach. Neat thing to visit if the timing works.

Kilometres of beach in both directions just metres from the city. Driftwood art abounds. Lots of driftwood and rocks to fossick.
