The white sand of Pakiri Beach

The Auckland Council is managing dozens parks and recreation areas around the city and Pakiri is their last acquisition. Stuck between private beaches and close to a marine reserve. When swimming I found a huge living shell bigger than my two hands!

 Strange tourists: Three calves a bit lost and absolutely fearless!

Surfers rescue are sponsored by private donations but also by DHL (company colors matching perfectly with uniform...) Kawasaki or BP.

 Birds are sometimes lazy beggars: where a car stops they come and wait for some food to be thrown.

I like driving on those gravel roads but it is sometimes tiring. In strong slopes the rear of the car is drifting...
