Hokitika Beach Sign

Without a photo with the floating wood decoration "HOKITIKA", it is equivalent to not been to Hokitika, not to the west coast of the South Island. The Hokitika tourism brochure compiled by the New Zealand Tourism Bureau, the home page picture is the sunset accompanied by the photo of "HOKIDIKA". A 3-minute walk west from the town's bell tower, through a small gateway, Hokitika Beach is in front of you, the whirring sea breeze, the waves, slapping the black stone beach. The floating wood decoration and the stone green sofa not far from the beach are the most eye-catching objects, tourists often consciously queued to punch in. The preference of small town residents for floating wood "HOKIDIKA" is almost persistent, whenever the wind destroys the decoration of the local or even all, no more than 24 hours, must be renovated with floating wood dead branches available on the beach.

The town is a pure land of only a few hundred people. Because of its location on the west coast, the location determines that the beach here is a great place to watch the sunset. However, the weather is cloudy and varied.

Hokitika Beach is a peaceful and beautiful beach, with an open sea, coconut trees swaying with the wind, and a warm island style. The sea here is very clear, the beach and reefs blend together to form a beautiful beach scenery, it is worth a walk, blowing the sea breeze.

It is a representative West Coast city on the South Island. It is a place with a lot of jade. The color of the beach is unique

Hokitika Beach, located in the West Sea of South Island, New Zealand.

Hokitica Beach is characterized by a lot of branches and rocks. On the beach, there are many HOKITIKA signs made of branches, and the stones are of variable colors. This is the famous origin of green jade in New Zealand, so Hokitica is also called Green Jade Town. The town is said to have a permanent population of only 4,000 people, so the streets are often empty.

Our lodging was just off the coast of Hokitica, so we decided to go for a walk near the coast. When the weather was cloudy, we had no hope of sunset. But when we were walking along the coastline, suddenly we turned around and there was a pink light on the horizon. We marvel at the magic of nature. Here we can see the most beautiful sunset, at least in my opinion. Let's feel it. Various colours interweave.
