	Black sand beach near Cape Palliser	Putangirua Pinnacles

		The rock crumbles in your bare hands, it's amazing the pinnacles can stay standing

The road is along the coast, so you can just pull over and walk down to the rocks with seals	Seals sleep a lot too

The small, remote fishing town of Ngawi	Cape Palliser Lighthouse	And the 250 wooden steps up to it

Just your average football field with sheep grazing	Waiohine Gorge, it was more of a "gorge" farther downstream, but there were no good viewpoints without a long hike	Looks inviting, eh?

"Weight limit 1 person" is what the sign said	Castlepoint Lighthouse

Lighthouse with 531ft (162m) Castle Rock in background (my favorite picture that I've taken)	Waves breaking on the rocks would spray water up 30 ft into the air
