Hopewell Rocks.

The tides here are amazing -the water retreats up to half a mile. When it roars back in, it erodes the base of the rocks that line the shore, and the result is some amazing shapes. They're known as the 'Flowerpot rocks' because they look like inverted flowerpots and some even have foliage growing on top. To reach the beach, there's a meandering half mile walk down hill- and then 99 steps at the bottom. It's worth the effort. Trust me!
