   • Thanks Carol, glad you like it

5. When you describe many of those beaches as dangerous, Pamela, I take it you’re referring to currents and so on, rather than sharks or the like? And do you know what gives the colour to the black sand?

   • Yes, I am describing currents and rips. We don’t get many Sharks on the West Coast, they usually go on the East Coast. Some East Coast beaches of Dunedin sometimes gets visited by Sharks – however as a child had an interesting experience with Sharks at Ruakaka, in Northland north of Auckland near Marsden Point Oil refinery. No the Sharks attacked no one.

6. All of them seem beautiful and a little bit wild too. Are there sharks?

   • Yes, they are beautiful. Not often are there sharks on the West beaches, but I won’t say none. In case Im proven wrong. Sharks visit the East coast more.

     • Sorry, I will point out there are a few East Coast beaches here, in these particular beaches, the sharks come but not often. Maybe Orewa beach or a beach close to that was visited by a great White Shark. I have another story with that.
