Small wander on Smails Beach



There are so many nooks and crannies to explore in Dunedin and around the Otago Peninsula.  

Most recently, Will and I went for a walk around Smails Beach because a) it's close to town, b) it's a two-for-one spot (we could check out Tomahawk Beach on the way) and c) it's a place I hadn't heard anyone mention before - it would be a little adventure!


There were hardly any other people around even though it's just a short drive from the the city centre and the popular St. Clair and St. Kilda beaches.


No seals, sea lions, or penguins, though...just the ocean and a few gulls. 


It's so relaxing to be at the beach on a nice day!


Although this beach wasn't particularly exciting while we were there, it seems that there's potential we'll be back again at night time.  I have my fingers crossed that we'll get an aurora show like this one that occurred earlier this month:
