By the Beautiful Beach by Louise Roke

Awana Bay, the beach for lovers of wild places, clear waters, bush, hills, dunes, rare birds, and shady pohutukawas to dream under between swims. The small human population at Awana have four beaches to choose from: the main surf beach where Barrier surfing began, calm Pohutukawa Bay at the southern end for safe swimming, snorkling, diving, kayaking and fishing; the river and estuary at the north end of the beach - an idyllic, calm, swimming spot when the surf is up, and always just right for kids and less able swimmers; and across the estuary and around the ancient Pa, wild and spectacular Stony Bay, great snorkling when the tide is low. Sparkling days and gentle, inviting waters, stormy skies and thundering surf, magical nights bewitched by the moon rising out of the sea, feeling small under a sky so vast and star-filled that all your troubles disappear in the silence. And all of this just three minutes stroll from Whare Kotare, your unique Barrier home, an Art and Crafts gem which is both beautiful and off-grid-functional, large enough to welcome family and friends, sheltered from storms, a cool oasis on hot summer days, and a cozy retreat when the rains are pounding on the roof and the fires are warming the house, your bathwater, and your soul. Truly a place to call home.
