A picturesque beach with mysterious boulders!

New Zealand has no short of beautiful beaches, but this one here is really special. Named the Moeraki Boulders Beach, lying along the beach are mysterious spherical stones scattered all around the area! Every Boulder is unique in their sizes, with some of them in full spherical shape while others behind half, as shown in the photos. There are many stories behind how these boulders landed up in this beach, and one of the more interesting one is that according to the Maori legend, these boulders are gourds washed ashore from a great voyaging canoe when it was wrecked upon landfall hundreds of years ago! It is recommended to come here during sunrise for the best view of the beach, but sunset are just as equally beautiful as well. There are also cafe and restaurant in the area so you can definitely drop by to relax before/after the beach visit. To get here is just a 30mins drive away from Oamaru, including a really scenic drive along the way! #momentssg #hiking #nationalpark #newzealand #unforgettableexperiences #travelinspiration
