On my last chance to visit a local West coast beach, decided to head out to Karekare, as I had yet to visit this summer. Took along my youngest sister Candace, before jetting off to Australia and London.

Managed to go beach hopping again, with my photography friend Phillip. Ventured into the stunning Whatipu Caves on the Northern end of beach, before heading to Bethells and O’Neills for sunset.
