90 miles or there about

Cape Reinga is 276 miles north of Auckland and 11,203 miles from London, the northern most tip of NZ, Cape Reinga. Where the tumultous Tasmin sea and the Pacific ocean collide. At the very point stood proud the glemming white Cape Reinga lighthouse. For such a point we were surprised there was absolutely no wind. Completely still, not a breath to be had. 

Warawa beach, lovely white sand and crystal clear water and unlike Oz no box jellyfish or rips to sweep you off to your death.

To say it's peak season there is not many peolpe about which adds to the relaxed feel.  In a single eyeview you can see forest, grasslands, sand dunes and sea, beautiful.

We drove the unsealed road to 90 mile beach, mmmm 'Weston s Mare' springs to mind. Compacted sand so cars can drive on and you can even book a tour where the coach drives the length of the beach! Tourists hey. Never really worked out the need for man to drive on beaches ?

Back in the day though past aclaim for this WSM esc beach is in Jan 1932 the world land speed record was broken by Norman the 'wizzard' Smith who pushed the centre clock to 164 mph in  less than perfect conditions, nutter.
