Moeraki Boulders: Nature’s Mystical Sculptures by the Sea

The short hike down from the car park to Moeraki Boulders offers breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and surrounding landscape. The path is easy to follow, with plenty of spots to pause and admire the stunning scenery. However, it’s important to check the tides before visiting, as the boulders are only fully visible during low tide. At high tide, much of the beach is submerged, hiding the famous stone formations. During low tide, the beach is open for exploration, and you can walk among the boulders, marveling at their unusual shapes and sizes. The view of the giant, spherical stones against the backdrop of the ocean is truly spectacular, making it a perfect spot for photography or simply soaking in the natural beauty. The entire experience, from the hike to the beach, is a memorable and peaceful adventure. #mountainhike #newzealand #hiking #travel #couplestrip #beachlife #naturalwonders #thingstodo #seascapes
