We found a freecamping spot right by the sea at Whangamata last night and went for a walk along the beach before settling in for the night.

Today we have decided to take the kayak out and paddle to Donut Island.

Just offshore from the island we can see some caves, but as we have a blow up kayak we are too scared to go too close.

We decided that as the overnight stay was so good we will stay another night.

Resting during the afternoon from our morning workout.

The following day we continued our Coromandel trip by stopping off at Onema, where we discovered some more freedom camping spots.

Then it was off to Opoutere beach for a leg stretch and some shell collecting.
