The way to the northern point of New Zealand goes through well known 90 mile beach, the real length of which is actually approximately 55 miles.   During the journey some time its hard to distinguish sea from sky and sky from land, all blend in one pleasant mixture.  Enjoy an amazing view  as far as the eye can see.

The name Ninety Mile Beach is a misnomer because it is actually 88 km (55 miles) long. The reason for its name is unknown. Several theories have been put forward, the most common stemming from the days when missionaries travelled on horse back. On average a horse could travel 30 miles in a day before needing to be rested. The beach took three days to travel therefore earning it the title Ninety Mile Beach, but the missionaries did not take into account the slower pace of the horses walking in the sand, thus thinking they had travelled 90 miles when in fact they had only travelled 60.
