Wainui Beach
A South Island New Zealand beach with cool ocean water and sandy access providing a classic West Coast swimming experience. Intermediate swimmers should be comfortable with colder water (50-55°F even in summer) and occasional strong currents; the rugged coastline offers dramatic scenery. Water clarity is generally good, but always check local conditions before entering.
