Cape Foulwind, Westport New Zealand

The magnificent and varied Cape Foulwind at Westport on the South Island's West Coast of New Zealand has many attractions. The dramatic costal scenery features rock stacks, uplifted layers of sandstones, unique beaches of large rounded boulders, and a backdrop of rainforest-clad mountains. New Zealand fur seals and little blue penguins live along its shores along with numerous sea and wading birds. The area is popular for rock and surf fishing and surfing championships are often held near here capitalising on the regular large swells combing in from across the Tasman sea.
