Hokitika Beach

If you don’t take a photo with the driftwood decoration "HOKITIKA", you have never been to Hokitika or the west coast of the South Island. In the Hokitika travel brochure compiled and distributed by Tourism New Zealand, the homepage picture is a photo of the sunset accompanied by "HOKIDIKA". Walk west from the town’s bell tower for 3 minutes and pass through a small gate. Hokitika Beach is right in front of you. The whistling sea breeze and the waves are beating against the black rocky beach. The driftwood decoration and the stone green sofa not far from the side are the most eye-catching objects on the beach. For a long time, tourists will consciously line up to check in. The local residents' preference for the driftwood "HOKIDIKA" is almost obsessive. Whenever a strong wind destroys part or all of the decoration, within 24 hours, they must be refurbished as new with the dead branches of driftwood available everywhere on the beach.

Hokitika Beach is a tranquil and beautiful beach with open sea, coconut trees swaying with the wind, and a warm island style. The sea here is very clear, the beach and the reef merge with each other to form a beautiful beach scenery, it is worth walking around and blowing the sea breeze.

The small town is a pure land with only a few hundred people. Due to its location on the west coast, the location determines the beach here is a great place to watch the sunset. However, the weather is overcast and unpredictable and changes a lot.

Hokitika Beach is very unique. As soon as you walk to the beach, you can see the name of the town made up of branches. The dam is made of messy rocks and branches. In the evening, everyone will gather on the beach to watch the sunset

Just a few minutes walk from the town to the beach, there are many specialty shops along the way. There are many works left by artists on this beach, some of which are made by nature. After a quiet walk, the waves are surging.
