We’re only have way up Ninety Mile Beach. There are a few access points into the beach, but most people see it by 4WD. Which means that you have to know what you’re doing or your car can sink into the quicksand.

We stopped at The Bluff, a bombara where we spotted a few fishermen trying to salvage a catch out of the surf.

More accessible were the mounds of shells. Like middens in Australia, looks like the local Maoris have been using this place for a long while.
