Going to Tiarua
The beach
The beaches at Tiarua are like at piha. They usually have violent dumper waves, and most people are unluckly at least once and get dumped. The sand also has many pippi shells. If you are lucky, you will find a scollop shell that is still together that opens and closes. Me and my family went on a hunt and found around forty all together! The waves and currents aren't always bad though. Once I was lucky enough to be there when the oceans were so calm that dolphins were swimming 15 meteres of shore! But to go from violent dumping waves to the calm waters of a lake, It was pretty crazy!
Paku Hill
Paku hill Is the hill our beach house/batch is built on. Out from the deck their is a really good view of the lagoon. It looks so close like you can just jump and you will land on the beach, but we all know that It is way further than it looks. But on the good side, you can walk just about anywhere from paku. The exersise park is one of the places. It is a mixture of getting exersise and doing REALLY fun things. I think that the walk to the exersise park is around three to four kilometeres? That might not be right though. You can also walk to the beach, the lagoon, the tiny village or the dairy.
My overall holiday
My overall holiday was good, but I didn't get to do all the things I was looking foward to. Like the spa, normally after the freezing beach we will jump in and warm up, but it was broken!!!😨 That mean't showers as soon as we got home and that wasn't nearly as fun. Lucky we didn't go tho the beach to much so I didn't get dumped!!! also, It was way too cold to so much as dip you toes in the water!
wow sounds like quite a few thing happened on that holiday ruby and i agree the spa being broken must have been horrible because it's so nice to get in a spa after the cold water at the beach but anyway paku beach dose sound a lot like piha always getting dumped bye the waves but maybe next time you could do a bit more punctuation but apart from that great post
ReplyDeleteWow ruby, it sounds like you had a fantastic holiday, I sure would like to go to Tiarua one day! Great description on the beach! It sounds a bit like Pataua, there are a few dumpy waves! There also sounds like there are cool things you can do over there, like the lagoon, and other fun things! Maybe next time add some photos of your awesome journey!
