Small clouds scatter themselves over the Pacific Ocean becoming highlighted in bright hues as the sunrise heralds a new day along the coastline of the Wairarapa in the town of Castlepoint.
A panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean coastline is seen from near the Castlepoint Lighthouse. Some of the best North Island sunrises are seen from this location where the cliffs rise high above the ocean, the ideal place to sit back and watch the Wairarapa coastline come alive.
Many tourists visit the beach resort of Castlepoint during the summer months where they will find tranquility, relaxation and amazing NZ coastal scenery. Castlepoint is about a hour's drive east of Masterton with a population of about 1,600. The numbers increase dramatically during the summer as this small beachside town becomes more prominent every year.
