About
Quick facts: Puka Shell Beach is named after the many crushed puka shells that cover the shore instead of regular sand. This beach is less crowded than White Beach, providing a peaceful spot for relaxation and shell collecting.
Highlights: The shoreline's unique mix of small, colorful puka shells creates a crunchy texture underfoot, different from typical sandy beaches. You can find shells in colors ranging from white to pink and orange, perfect for keepsakes and photos.
Insider tips
- Wear water shoes to protect your feet from sharp shells and rocky patches.
- The best shell collecting is right after high tide when new shells wash ashore.
- Bring a wide-brim hat and sunscreen to stay comfortable between shell hunts.
- Avoid weekends to enjoy quieter surroundings and better photo opportunities.
