Brighton
I found the money camping spot west of Brighton...the sand is like ashtray sand, and doesn't stick to your feet. It's amazing. Had a nice little protected cove; very pleasant.
You know, it's not Dunedin that I like all that much, it's the nearby beachtown Brighton that I am smitten with. The whole community orients around the beach, where there is a pointbreak and you can drive onto the beach. There are miles of beautiful beach in either direction. It has the vibe of an old school 60s surf town, with the balding, super fit dads pushing all their little water kids into the waves. Nice houses on the hill and along the dunes -- probably considered ritzy by Dunedin standards, but not at all showy. There's one little store there with leathery-tan 70 year-old beach bums, skate rats, and surf-moms. I love it here.
Still waiting on my Queenstown package, and for the swell to pick up. Today I swam in the St. Clair heated salt water pool, which is located right on the main pointbreak that town orients around. Salt water pools rule! I hate chlorine, and you float better in saltwater anyway.
Was glad today when I was terrorized by a group of 3 kids with those pump waterguns on the side of the road...Because I always have multiple plastic Diet Coke bottles full of water in my car! I flipped a bitch, and came up on them like the angry adult, reprimanding them for squirting stuff at my car. And then I NAILED them. it was most satisfying.
