Its actually one beach. Access for tis location is Morgan Street( North Mole, River Mouth)
In the distance is Castlecliff beach( main swimming beach) further north is Seafront road Access.
South of the point where this pic is taken is South Beach(Beach South of River Mouth) which is accessed by going straight ahead past Wanganui Airport.
A bit further North is Mowhanau Beach(aka Kaiiwi) althoght there is not much wood this far north due to the shape of the coast.
That photo was taken several months ago so there may not be as much wood there now as they clean some of it up for summertime. (or big Bonfire for Guy Fawkes) but there will be plenty of wood still around. I collect pieces when I go fishing and I noticed today that there was a lot of native wood at the Seafront road access. ( warning, unless you have a 4X4, dont attempt to drive onto beach. Its rediculous the amount of times we have to pull people out just so we can get back to the carpark.
David, Anytime you wanna visit, just let me know.
