New Zealand's Coasts

Author(s): Colin Monteath

NZ Pictorial

Tucked away in the South Pacific, Aotearoa New Zealand, with its 11,000 kilometres of stunningly beautiful coastline is treasured by New Zealanders and visitors alike for the uncrowded, relatively undeveloped and almost pristine nature of its beaches, headlands and foreshore ecosystems. New Zealand's coastline has a lot on offer, from therapeutic solo walks along a beach and relaxing family holidays to more energetic forms of recreation by avid surfers and divers. New Zealand's Coasts, by Christchurch writer and photographer Colin Monteath, is an evocative portrayal of the recreational activities, the beauty and the moods of the country's coastal regions from the tip of the North Island all the way to southernmost reaches of Stewart Island. Also in this series by Colin Monteath: New Zealand's Mountains.
