We mapped Aotearoa New Zealand’s open coast beaches. Open coast beaches are those that are situated facing the ocean. At this stage, we have not mapped beaches within harbours or estuaries. We mapped beaches larger than about 50 m in length that are comprised of either sand or gravel sediments. While there are some small gaps, we are working on filling these and if there are gaps you would like filled you can get in touch with us at [email protected].
