    The New Chums Beach is a pretty sick beach here in New Zealand, you can't go by car so you walk around 30 minutes to the beach along the coast.

    You can climb a little hill/mountain and have an overview to the beach. It is not so much tourism as Cathedral Cove.

    Best beach I have ever seen!

    Just a few people. But the walk to the beach is full with stinky algae.
