We d spend our days at the beach, building sandcastles in the golden sand.
Tripadvisor has named Kaiteriteri Beach as one of the best in the world for 2021. Here, travel writer Laura Hampson fondly recalls a childhood spent on its golden sands One of the first memories I have of Kaiteriteri Beach (known simply as ‘Kaiteri’ to locals) is fishing just outside of its teal-hued harbour. I must have been around 3 or 4 years old at the time when I felt a snag on the line. My cousin Scott, in his early teens by then, was helping me fish and together we reeled in a red cod. I still remember the feeling of reeling in that fish, the excitement when it came to the surface and we saw just how big it was, the disappointment when we threw it back as it was full of worms.
