Any visit to Auckland should include a visit to Bethells Beach. This pic is different because green is not a colour normally associated with the black sand beaches of Auckland's west coast. A lot to see at Bethells, the Te Henga walkway (best walk in Auckland), Lake Wainamu including the biggest sand dune I have ever seen.
Quick little walking trail has amazing views. There's a shallow cave below this too!
