New Zealand Unnamed beach near Ship Creek, West Coast
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 and mountains are coming closer in your composition.
