Our Trip to Mahia Peninsula

A few weekends ago we took a short road trip about an hour south of Gisborne to the Mahia Peninsula.  There's not a lot there, we found out, other than some really nice beaches,a lot of sheep (of course), and a small town that seemed pretty deserted (looked like a lot of "holiday" homes).  We were able to get out and see a few of the beaches and enjoy a small lunch we had packed despite the dreary weather.  These first four pictures are from a black sand beach we drove by that looked too pretty to pass up (despite the steep slope we had to traverse to get to it):

These next few pictures are from Mahia Beach:
