Nestled in the picturesque settings of Hickory Bay, New Zealand, Stony Beach stretches with a unique blend of greyish pebbles and sand across its length. Unlike the quintessential golden sandy shores, this beach offers a distinctive setting that sets it apart. Activities here are more in tune with those who seek tranquility and a connection with nature, such as walking, bird watching, and pebble collecting. Stony Beach has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does not have lifeguards on duty, bathroom access, and is not dog friendly, emphasizing a natural and undisturbed visit.
