Castlepoint Coastal Town Sunset Wairarapa New Zealand
Photo & Vacation Spot

Just before darkness, the sunset lighting is beautiful over the lagoon in the coastal town of Castlepoint in Wairarapa on the North Island of New Zealand.

The sunset lighting over the lagoon and the Pacific Ocean is very serene on this particular day in the town of Castlepoint in Wairarapa on the North Island of New Zealand. The water in the lagoon calmly swirls around the base of Castle Rock but on the opposite side, the Pacific Ocean can show its fury at times as it smashes against the rugged coastline.

The sheltered lagoon is ideal for swimming and tanning while staying at this beautiful beach resort in the town of Castlepoint, but others enjoy the excitement as they stand atop the rocky ledges with their fishing rods. Castle Rock stands 162 meters above the coastal shores creating a blockage from the rougher waters of the Pacific Ocean.

The best time to visit the town of Castlepoint in Wariarapa, New Zealand is during the summer months when the climate is warmer and the sunsets are spectacular across the horizon.
