Oputere and Peninsula Reserve

Today we had a bit of an explore around the area and headed north to the next beach, Oputere - this is pretty much the last beach on the Coromandel east coast that hasn't been developed as there is a reserve which spans the back of the beach.  The walk from the car takes you past the estuary and through forest.




The only thing nearby is a campsite which we plan to use at some point in the future as the beach was stunning.






We spent some time enjoying the New Year's sunshine and watching the surfers catching the waves.






The next stop of the day was the Peninsula Reserve, back near Onemana.  The rugged forestry road eventually ended at the lookout point down to Whangamata beach - a very popular New Year's spot.




Happy New Year from both of us.
