These are more beaches for taking long lonely walks and feeling "at one with nature" - Not for topping up your tan...

you go in the water your dead, about 20 meters off it drops 200 meters BUT.. and this is all important.. very good whitebaiting. |
I used to go whitebaiting in Karitane at the mouth of the Waikouaiti - The fear of imminent death is nothing if there is a chance for some whitebait patties at the end of the day.....

Fucking great pub/ band scene there in the 80's |
I know Central Otago well - Amazing place - I half climbed Mt Cook back in the day...
