Paihia is an oceanside town but with islands and peninsulas everywhere you look, it seems more like a lakeside town. Here area few pictures taken from various areas along the waterfront. At the south end is a long beach, in the middle a grassy area and businesses around the wharf, further north is rocky, then there is another beach in an area of town up and around a corner.
One thing that pops up frequently is these pictures is trees with red blossoms. These are Pohutukawa trees, the subject of a recent blog post. -Cyndi
