Favourite beach? 
There are so many around here, but if I had to choose one, it would be Totaranui Beach, in the Abel Tasman National Park, right across the bay from us. 
( top of the South Island of New Zealand) 
  
Wharariki Beach comes in second. 
  
Oh... Curio Bay, on the bottom of the South Island is also a magical spot, on The Southern Ocean. 
Great surf... Seals... Dolphins... Whales and Penguins on the remnants of a petrified forest.
