Route from the public parking lot of the Moeraki Boulders (access by beach) to the Moeraki Boulders, passing through private access to Moeraki Beach Boulders Cafe and Moeraki Beach at the outset, and through the catwalk of wood and the viewpoint of the Moeraki Boulders on the way back.
The route begins at the public parking lot of Moeraki Boulders, located further south, from where you can usually access the mysterious rocks across the beach. In fact, very clear informative posters indicate this in the same parking lot. In this case, however, and as a consequence of constant rains in recent days, the Waiwherowhero Creek has grown more than normal and the edges of sand have been crushed to reach the sea. Therefore, given the impossibility of crossing the stream through a dry section of sand, and with the desire not to wet your feet, it has been decided to reach the Moeraki Boulders for another access. Moving over the asphalted track about a mile or so, you reach the Moeraki Boulders Cafe, where some posters warn you that access to the rocks from this point is not free, and that you have to pay $ 2 to help keep you safe. lo After paying, then, the way leads quickly to Moeraki Beach, where the mysterious rounded rocks are quickly inscribed. There are several boards separated, with more covered by the sand and more spherical, or whole and drilled. Some even allow a person to enter as completely as if he were leaving an egg. In general, the print is, then, quite curious.
After inspecting and exploring this small natural gift, and avoiding some algae and gullies, the poster that indicates the direction of the viewpoint is followed. Climbing a few stairs, you follow a wooden walkway with higher views of the Moeraki Boulders until you reach the viewpoint of the Moeraki Boulders. From this point you can see the rocks in its entirety. Finally, following the path and leaving the area of the Moeraki Boulders, you will get back to the restaurant, from where you follow the paved road again, finding some mushrooms and a cow, public car park where the route has begun.
It is a route without any difficulty that involves a walk through the sand of the beach if you want to see the rocks nearby. It is necessary to take into account, of course, that the tide is low, since if not the rocks will not be visible (you can check the state of the tide of any day through several web pages). If access to the beach from the public car park is not in good condition, as in this case, you can also park your car at the Moeraki Boulders Cafe car park, although it is supposed to be by customers of the car park. restaurant In any case, the visit to the Moeraki Boulders is advisable if you are on the edge of the area, as you observe as close a mystery of nature as this is always fascinating.
