Moeraki Boulders

#summervacay The Moeraki Boulders are a geological marvel on Koekohe Beach, just north of Dunedin. These massive, spherical boulders, some over 2 meters in diameter, are scattered across the beach like giant marbles. Summer is the best time to visit, especially during low tide when the boulders are most exposed and the beach is bathed in golden light. The site is both scientifically fascinating and visually stunning—perfect for photography and exploration. There’s a café nearby and walking paths that add to the experience. Whether you're intrigued by natural history or simply love a unique beach stroll, the Moeraki Boulders are a must-see.
