    Great beach, lovely environment, surf was good while we were there, possibly a bit wild for just a swim

    The Gold Coast of New Zealand. Don't get trapped just at main beach though. Tay street surf and lots of other cool sections that are much less crowded. Make sure you go for a walk up the Mount itself

    Stay on the main beach to people watch and swim between the flags, head away from the Mount, past the island for a quieter beach
