New Zealand beaches
New Zealand has an exceptionally long coastline compared to the size of the country (over
15,000 km) which makes it almost the same size as the mainland USA's coastline. Even
though New Zealand is only about the same size as Colorado, the large coastline is possible
because it is extremely iregular and indented. New Zealand's coastline is packed with deep
coves, bays, intricate harbours, long sounds, and steep fiords. Its territorial waters stretch from
the sub-tropical through to the sub-antarctic.
Both islands tend to have better swimming beaches on their eastern coasts and the further
north you go. The west coasts of both islands are quite rugged with cliffs and more unsettled
weather. There are however some suitable swimming and bathing beaches here, with iron
