It was a gorgeous and hot day at Ruakākā beach today. A few people were swimming.

A couple of large islands on the horizon behind a few very small and gentle waves.

Taranga (Hen), Marotiri (Chickens) and Taturu (Sail Rock) lie on the horizon of Te Ākau (Bream Bay). In the distant far right is Hauturu o Toi (Little Barrier Island) New Zealand's first nature reserve.
