Stay

If tenting is an option and the weather is behaving then a night or two camping beside the beach at Purakaunui Bay will never be forgotten.

The bay is bordered by striking cliffs that glow crimson at sunset and which frame a picture-perfect bay of clear turquoise waters and rolling surf. Regarded amongst surfing circles as a spot of legendary breaks, there is plenty of opportunity to watch the surfers play with nature, or just soak up this panoramic Catlins scene with a stroll down the beach. doc.govt.nz
