Koekohe Beach is a gorgeous beach located on New Zealand's Otago coast, home to the famed Moeraki Boulders, a group of large spherical rocks that are the result of shoreline erosion. The boulders, which are estimated to have taken up to four million years to form, are one of the most popular attractions in the area and are often photographed due to their unique size and striking array of colors, including blue and green layers. The beach itself is equally stunning, offering brilliant tan sands and unique surf conditions that reflects the colors of the sky above, often taking on pastel shades such as pink at sunset. Beachgoers can observe seas lions in their natural habitats, explore the beach's historic lighthouse, or simply relax and sunbathe along its beautiful shores.
