All Day Bay & Campbells Bay
I must admit I was taken back by the beauty of this beach, glistening orange sand with limestone outbursts falling into the ocean, the beach had a perfect curve to it as it span over to All Day Bay. This is a perfect place for a destination or a road trip stop off. There is a camping ground with all the amenities and the usual small town activities. This is a surfing beach and is safe to swim at. Have fun folks. I hear it goes off for New Years !
Directions
There are several great ways to make it here. From the South you will want to turn off of State Highway 1 at Waianakarua (the town with 5 a's), onto Waianakarua Rd. Take that all the way into Kakanui and turn right on to Magdala St then again onto Harbour Terrace. From Oamaru, Take the exit on Beach Rd and it will eventually end in Kakanui. You could also take the Thousand Acre Rd from Highway 1 or the Maheno-Kakanui Rd out of Maheno right beside the Tavern. I could probably name a few others, but I'll stop there.
