Mangawhai Heads

Mangawhai Heads is an unspoilt beach North of Auckland on the East Coast. Many holiday makers head this way in Summer. The beach is a strange mix. As you walk Northward the white sand under your feet suddenly turns to shell (see listing above). I love the rock formations here (I wish I was a geologist because then I'd attempt to sound knowledgeable about them - haha). I like this image because it looks somewhat unreal. It's as if I've been transported onto the moon. This place lends itself to cloudy weather. As a result the picture (above) is both moody and otherworldly.
