New Zealand Unnamed beach near Ship Creek, West Coast

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
This unnamed beach is a real treasure on the West Coast and not easy accessible. Once you reach the coastline you will have this massive beach all for yourself. It is a wild one, with lots of driftwood that has been washed up and large rocks scattered on the sand or sticking out of the water.

Photography Tips

Use the 3x zoom option from your drone, if you have it. The effect is that the far away standing sea stacks are coming closer in your composition.

Otherwise I would prefer to just place a person for scale.

Have a valid flight license with you.

Travel Information

Next to the New Zealand State Highway 6 is a very small path where you can park your car at the end of it. Attention: Don“t drive into that road if it was rainy before. You could stuck with your car in the mud.

From the parking spot there is a very small walking path that leads you to a river. You need to cross it. After the crossing the way leads you straight to the big beach.

Bring some sandfly spray with you. Here are millions of them.
