Ward Beach Boulders

Nice 15 minute walk each way from the Ward Beach carpark and if you continue for another 15 minutes there are many Seals up the beach

Beautiful isolated beach, just a toilet there. Go at low tide and take your rock hoping shoes and pleanty of water too as there's no shade.

A short walk from the car park. Great spot for a keen, explorative mind - particularly with interests in geology. Sea looks very rough most of the time, lots of huge sea weeds on the shore, don't think a place good for swimming.

A quiet spot to watch the sea. There's a basic public toilet and parking. Don't expect an ice cream van.

Only 6kms from the main highway. A couple of kms of gravel road near the beach. Well worth the visit. Don't forget to pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the beach.

Beautiful quiet beach.

If you love Rock formations you will enjoy this walk8mins from car park to the north , you can walk across stones or the formations , will be no good if you have any injuries as stones are small .It can smell at parts as there's stale water in some pools .Look for bathing seals ( keep your distance )If you walk further apparently another 1.5k theres limestone lifted formations ( I didn't go that far ) google .Look for stone fossils, small stone gems , paua shells washed up .Fun for the children, just watch the surf rolling in especially at high tide !Toilet available up by the camp but is a long drop - take some toilet paper just incase & hand wipes/ sanitizer as no water to wash.

Really impressive! The boulders are very special and the beach is beautiful too

Great place to see uplifting caused by 2016 quake. Worth walking 10 minutes to northern end of the beach to see seal colony.

Beautiful spot, especially on a clear day. Avoid the easterly winds if you can, that can make it somewhat unpleasant.The best spot to view the concretions is just north of the car park. The beat view of the sea floor uplift, including K-T Boundary is about 1500m north along the beach, close to Chancet’s rock.Careful of the gravel on the beach. It can be deep in places, and stay well clear of the seals if you encounter any.
