An Island Paradise Awaits In Hokitika

If you love to vacation at the beach, but don't like all the tourist that usually goes long with it

, then consider a getaway to Hokitika. Located in beautiful New Zealand, on the west coast of the south island, Hokitika is set amid the splendor of nature. You can bask in the sun's golden rays in virtual privacy while you marvel at the beauty of the rainforests and mountains in the background. While you won't have to fight the crowds for a spot to spread out your towel on the beach, you will still find plenty to do so your vacation is a memorable one.

Plus, you have a lot of options when it comes to your Hokitika accommodation selection. Select from a plush beachfront motel, a primitive campground, or anything in between. A popular choice is renting a cabin right on the beach so you can sleep to the gentle sound of the waves lapping against the shore.

When you want a vacation that takes you away from it all, then Hokitika is the ideal place to go. Forget the hustle and bustle of modern life and reconnect with your spirit amid nature's beautiful splendor. You can also enjoy great food, fun shopping, and lots of water activities. If you enjoy fishing, get prepared for some of the best fishing to be found on the west coast of New Zealand. Maybe you love to go boating, or like swimming instead. Whatever you enjoy most about the water or the sun can be found on the beach of Hokitika.

There is more to Hokitika than the beach though, you can hike through beautiful rainforests and bush country. The area is on an island on the western edge of the Alps. It has lush wetlands and thriving rainforests. The area gets a lot of rain in the summer months when it is hot and humid. Winters are much milder and there are fewer visitors then too, so it is an ideal season to visit if you crave privacy. Plus the view of the mountains then is amazing with their snow capped peaks in the background.

The waters of Hokitika are crystal clear and there are limestone canyons and awe-inspiring gorges that create ideal fishing holes or hideaways to spend a secluded day. The usual population of the city is about 4500 people so you can image it has a small town feel. At times, the population can reach 35,000, but even so, it isn't nearly as crowded as some other beaches. The busiest tourist time is during the Wildfoods Festival that is held during March each year and draws in visitors from all over.

On a clear day, you can see Mount Cook from Main Street, beckoning you to come explore the bounties of nature. Selecting the best accommodation Hokitika offers may take some planning. Do you want to be pampered and have every need catered to, or do you want to rough it with the sounds and smells of nature? Hokitika is far from a tourist trap, but it is quickly becoming a favorite beach destination among those in the know. So if your idea of a great vacation is a place in nature where you can unwind on the sand and listen to the surf, then you won't need to look any longer.
