Why go
Large spherical concretions sit on Koekohe Beach and emerge differently with tide and sand level. Cracked geometric surfaces and Māori traditions give the boulders more meaning than their novelty alone. At Moeraki Boulders/Kaihinaki, these supported details reward close attention; the character of Moeraki Boulders/Kaihinaki becomes clearer when they are considered together.
