Okains Bay

Spent a couple of nights at Okains Bay campground about 25 km from Akaroa. Very steep winding roads in and out. Just a handful of houses, one store and a small museum but very popular with families at weekends and holidays. Very safe swimming, the flat sandy bay never gets very deep even at high tide.
Only a handful of campers whilst we were there. Very relaxing and weather was great!
Did a walk along the coast to Little Okains Bay. Never saw another soul in nearly two hours walking.
Visited Little Akalola Bay on the way back to Christchurch. Roads +++ winding and steep but beautiful place to live.Read more
