so, we drove up the coast to find New Chums beach

as the sign says, getting there is half the experience

you start by crossing a river, so low tide is a good time to go

then you have to scramble over these rocks

and at some point

you find a pathway which takes you up and over the cliff down to the New Chums beach.  these are the wobbly wet rocks we climbed over

and eventually we got to the beach

which was well worth the trip

we walked from one end of the beach to the other and back

and then it was back up the path and over the rocks

by then the river was a bit wider and deeper and everyone got wet shoes and they couldn’t jump as far as i could.  because i am amazing.
