Pronounced as “Fa-ra-ri-ki”. One of the most beautiful spots of New Zealand in my opinion. A gravel road ends at a camp ground where just a number of massive sand dunes separate from the sea. The green sheep hills of that area are simply stunning and the fur seals playing around at the river mouth are funny to watch. But the highlight of Wharariki beach are the white sand dunes that invite you to climb up and jump down until you’re totally exhausted.
