Our journey to our next destination point took us along the coastline of Doubtless Bay, named by Captain Cook. Our first stop was Mangonui, a fishing harbour where all of the trawlers dock with their daily catch. The main tourist attraction here is the fish and chip shop, about 100 metres away from the dock so very fresh fish. They have won numerous awards for their fish and chips.
Obviously an opportunity not to be missed so we had a fabulous lunch of battered bluenose fish and oysters - the best fish and chips ever!
The next two beaches along the coast, Coopers Beach and Cable Bay were beautiful. Here is a photo down Cable Bay.
The top of the nearby Rangikapiti Pa gave great views - firstly back down to Mangonui. The fish and chip shop is the first jetty with the dock just behind.
Then down to Coopers Beach in the foreground and Cable Bay in the distance.
