Beach description
This is a popular beach, which is always full of people. White warm sand, calm sea with small waves, gentle entrance to the sea contribute to this. The coastal waters are safe for swimming, so even children can swim here. Especially in the summer season from the morning to the evening lifeguards are on duty. However, we should say about the strong winds blowing from the ocean. They are an integral part of almost all new Zealand beaches.
If you want a truly relaxing holiday, you should visit the pools at the foot of the mountain with hot salt water. This water is considered to be healing and according to local residents is able to relieve any pain. A children's pool and a slide make this place ideal for families.
Many vacationers are impressed by the entrance of luxury cruise ships in the bay of Pilot. They make provisions for a picnic, wait for the sunset time and admire the size and grandeur of the ships approaching the coast.
When is the best time to go?
The best time to travel to New Zealand is December-January, the local summer. Despite the warming, the temperature rarely exceeds 30 degrees, so relaxing on the beach here is very comfortable.
