Question of the Day!

It would be the beach. I'm 2km inland from it and have visited it maybe 10 times total in the entire 17 years I've lived here. You might say I'm not a good spokesperson for the beach then, but I'm just not a water person.

The beach offers a stunning view of the large island a bit south (a bird sanctuary), plus the one further south (also a sanctuary, and I once went on a school trip to plant trees on it). Even further south, on a clear day, you can see the south island. Looking north you can see Mount Ruapehu (esp if it's got snow on it) and it's a good 250-300km away...

Plus, it's actually a good swimming beach and if you're then in Feb there's a huge kite festival going on.

I'm talking Otaki Beach in New Zealand.
