Lovely shot, I like the gentle morning pastel colors and the depth/distance perception. Makes me wanna go back there… again!

Not really a “beach” but quite an interesting coastline, especially with those gorgeous mountains as a backdrop. Nice to explore on a kayak, though! Very nice photo.

Reminds me of images of certain parts of the Andes and Galopagos….BEautiful image, well deserved POTD!

Nicely composed photo showing the vastness of your country. I especially like that the focus is sharp both in the tide pool and in the distant peaks–just as if the viewer were standing there personally. If I had $$$ to travel the world, New Zealand would be one of my first stops! Thanks for sharing such an enticing view.
