Gisbane

One of the first things we did while in New Zealand was take the 5 hour drive to Gisbane from Mt. Maunganui and went camping for a few days. After getting lost on the way there, we arrived at the spot which was absolutely stunning. We camped out at a white sand beach bookmarked at each end by 2 mountains. The beach was also tucked away in some remote bay that only a local would be able to find, making it pretty remote. If this spot was in the US there would have been thousands of people. Since we were in New Zealand, there were only about 15 groups of campers.
