Farewell Spit to Foxton Beach, New Zealand

You can see some sheep at the top of the cliff above this sea cave, ignoring the view and concentrating on the grass. As the Tasman Sea erodes these cliffs, the fine sand travels on the ocean currents to continue building up Farewell Spit further east. There are all sorts of estimates as to how fast the Spit is growing each year and encroaching on Golden Bay.  Select the photo below to see more of the cliffs in this area.
