Just as you stepped onto the sand there was an entrance with roped off sections, which were being sold for $2.00 per site. The object of this exercise was to purchase a section and design houses for penguins. Most people had gone to a lot of work with lots of detail, using as many natural resources as the beach area provided.
On the main beach area several drift wood and stone structures were scattered across the sand as far as the eye could see. We took several photos just to show the size of some of the creations and the variety that were displayed. These amazing sculptures were created as part of a competition and were being judged. Hokitika was also spelt out with large pieces of drift wood just as you walk upon the beach.
Several of the local Holiday OSCAR Programmes came and visited and created their own pieces of art. This activity could be done in your own area, as an after school or holiday project.
