As you continue around the Dune Lake Walk at Ship Creek, you will see the entrance to a second Dune Lake viewpoint. This provides a sweeping coastal view to the south.
The Dune Lake is to the left, separated from the beach by sandbanks covered with a colourful array of harakeke (flax). The long expanse of beach, all the way to the Haast River, extends to the right. The flowering of the flax added more colour on the day.
Head back down from the viewpoint to access the beach.
