White Cliffs

One of the thrills of touring New Zealand--outdoors New Zealand--is walking low-tide paths. We drove on past New Plymouth and the refineries (!) and such and north to the White Cliffs scenic area. At high tide, the cliffs come right down to the sea. At low tide, a strip of gray beach appears and permits quite a long walk past the cliffs and to a stream. We did this hike at a falling low tide. Later in the day, we did the Three Sisters on a rising tide. Quite a bit more adventuresome...

We were pretty sure it was a falling tide
