It was an interesting ride along the coast to our next destination, Onetahuti Beach. The rocky shoreline had the sort of indents and tiny coves that make it so advantageous to travel here by kayak. (Of course, I’m sure the hikers inland see some gorgeous forest.)
One of the main points of interest was Cottage Loaf Rock, a giant white rock that looks like a rounded loaf of bread.
Shag Harbor was intriguing with lots of water taxi traffic, but it’s too small for our boat. The final place we passed was a possible anchorage for us: Reef Point. With our timeline, it would be an either/or with neighboring Onetahuti Beach so I really hoped it wouldn’t be a tempting choice. No such luck. Reef Point was a beautiful little spot beckoning us in. We went to look, but in the end we chose its more famous neighbor. Sometimes you have to make a tough choice. –Cyndi
