Uretiti Beach glorious and empty

I was following my golfing husband and just had to go over the sand dunes to admire this beautiful long and mostly empty stretch of beach. White sand softly rolling surf clean blue water blissful.

Great DOC camp on Uretiti Beach

We always enjoy a stopover here in our campervan. The planting continues with native shrubs and there are hot showers available for $2. You can always find a good spot except maybe in peak summer when it would be more crowded.

Horse riding on the beach

Took my horse riding on the beach. Was awesome! Nice and flat highly recommend. Only thing I'd suggest is better adequate fencing between golf club and beach.

Not for the faint-hearted!

Sometimes you wonder. When I crossed the dunes and first laid eye on this beach I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I have read reviews of beaches that would compare as a landfill to this beach and got five stars. What on...More
