Cooks beach
Cooks​ ​Beach​ ​is​ ​a​ ​​great
place​ ​to​ ​take​ ​the​ ​family.​ ​It
has​ ​a​ ​wide​ ​range​ ​of
activities​ ​just​ ​one​ ​easy​ ​boat
ride​ ​away​ ​and​ ​so​ ​much​ ​to
do​ ​within​ ​walking​ ​distance.
There​ ​is​ ​a​ ​dairy​ ​with
essential​ ​food​ ​and​ ​supplies.
There​ ​is​ ​a​ ​fish​ ​and​ ​chip
shop,​ ​a​ ​restaurant​ ​and
some​ ​other​ ​small​ ​shops.
There​ ​are​ ​cafes​ ​to​ ​walk​ ​or
drive​ ​to.​ ​There​ ​are​ ​walks
over​ ​to​ ​Lonely​ ​Bay​ ​and​ ​over
to​ ​the​ ​top​ ​of​ ​a​ ​cave.​ ​At​ ​the
top​ ​of​ ​the​ ​cave​ ​you​ ​can​ ​then
jump​ ​down​ ​the​ ​cave​ ​and
into​ ​the​ ​water.​ ​Lonely​ ​bay​ ​is
a​ ​small​ ​beach​ ​next​ ​to​ ​cooks
beach​ ​and​ ​it’s​ ​a​ ​short​ ​walk
over​ ​a​ ​hill​ ​at​ ​one​ ​end​ ​of​ ​the
beach.​ ​One​ ​little​ ​reminder​ ​is
that​ ​if​ ​you​ ​decide​ ​to​ ​eat
collected​ ​shellfish​ ​check​ ​out
some​ ​websites​ ​to​ ​make
Sure they are safe to eat.





A place to stay
There are lots of batches to rent but make sure you get in quick because they book up fast. There is also a resort to stay at. Here is the website link. http://www.cooksbeachresort.co.nz/






        


Estuary
The estuary is at the other end of the beach and is a great place to swim or drive your boat. If you swim across the estuary there is a massive rope swing into the water.
Collecting shellfish around the estuary area may be a risk as the shellfish may be toxic.



There is a strong current at some parts of the day so be sure to get your timing right. Mr Whippie comes down to the estuary sometimes around dinner time.

Cooks
Beach
The place to be this summer

Cooks beach is the place to be this summer or the next. The sea is great for boogie boarding and swimming. There is lots of sand to play on even at high tide. Down at the estuary it is a great place to splash around and swim. There is a town a small boat ride away and a small village with shops already there.
