The Headland Between Anatakapau Beach and Anapai Bay (Abel Tasman National Park, New Zealand)

April 20, 2016

To get to Anapai Beach, we’d need to round the sizeable headland that lies between Anatakapau Beach and Anapai Bay. With dinghy gas in the can and calm weather, we decided to give it a go.

As we made our way around, we found ourselves in a world of green and blue pools, impressive white sandstone formations and outlying rocks. This headland was destination-worthy in itself! If I had any doubts about the best way to see this area, I didn’t anymore: kayaking is the way to go! (Better yet, kayaking and walking!) Below, some photos from rounding the headland (click to enlarge/scroll through both galleries below).

Soon, we came across an sizable indent in the headland. Here, a beach with candy shades of blue-green water had formed at the foot of steep forested hills. It may have been small, but it was the prettiest beach of the day. –Cyndi
