We had a lovely couple of days at my parents place on Waiheke Island. They live close to the gloriousness that is Onetangi Beach.
It's a popular spot during summer for all-comers to Waiheke but I myself have a soft spot for it mid-winter and these pics tell the tale why.
Shining white sand, sparkling blue sea and when the tide is out there is miles and miles of space to run around.
