Motukiekie Beach Walk

Wednesday morning we packed up early and left for the west coast of the south island.  It was raining when we left but wonderfully sunny when we arrived at the Motukiekie Beach Walk.  We timed our arrival at a few hours before low tide.  What Motukiekie's got is an offshore sea-stack cornucopia, high cliffs and arches and caves and waterfalls and corrugated tidal shelving.  Enjoy the pictures.
