After several days of staying indoors, we headed to Waipipi Beach in Waverley to take a stroll and lots of photos!

Big Bay, Awhitu
The first stop on our trip was at Big Bay. It's on the Awhitu Peninsula, just south of Auckland.
I was quite taken with all the sealife on the beach from anemones to coral, oysters to sand dollars and even a sea slug. But most of all I was intrigued with the beach itself. The 'sand' looked like pieces of hollowed out tree trunks at some places. Other parts were oyster covered rocks. It's a definite change from Taranaki beaches.

elephant rock
We visited 3 sisters again this weekend, this time to see elephant rock up close and find some petroglyphs that were suppose to be in a nearby cave. Unfortunately, most websites are out of date about the carvings because that particular cave was destroyed in 2008 by a winter storm. Duh.
This rock might be famous one day, too. Possibly another elephant? Maybe just another 'sister'?
I am totally in awe of the coastal rock formations. You haven't seen the last of them!
