Review & FAQ:
Wharariki Beach is located west of Cape Farewell on New Zealand's South Island, known internationally for its large cliffs and sand dunes, interesting cave formations, and blustery high wind gusts. The remote beach is only accessible via a walking trail which begins at Wharariki Road and extends for more than 20 minutes before reaching the coastline. Its is perhaps most renowned for its unique Archway Islands formation, which have been featured as the default lock screen image for Microsoft's Windows 10 software program. Visitors should note that the best time to explore this beach is during low tide, as its landscape changes dramatically with tide conditions, making it almost inaccessible at high tide.
