Rotorua to Auckland, New Zealand

There are quite a few attractions accessed via the Hot Water Beach Road including this 2.5km walk, near Hahei, to see the spectacular coastal scenery on the way to the famous Cathedral Cove. This is Stingray Bay with its large boulders and a sandy beach if you are here at lower tides. When not inundated with rainwater run off, it is known as a good place for snorkelling. Visibility is zero at the moment though. Select the photo below to see the sea cave and honeycomb weathering on the cliff face across the bay.
