A sleepy district in the
North Island of New Zealand, New Plymouth is an
eclectic mix of diverse cultures, contemporary style and a traditional
friendliness that has fashioned New Zealand since old times. With the waves of
Tasman Sea kissing the black-sand beaches on one side and the snow-capped peaks
of Mt.Taranaki (Mt.Egmont) standing tall at the other, New Plymouth offers
scenic beauty that leaves you spellbound. The coastal walkway is an 11km path that forms an expansive sea-edge promenade
stretching almost the entire length of New Plymouth. For a little bit of peace
and solitude, Pukekura Park in central New Plymouth is a stunning example of an
urban space developed over decades into a national icon. Add that to the
numerous river walkways that exhibit a variety of native and exotic flora and a
myriad of other ‘tucked away’ spots for a period of quiet contemplation. In
fact, the district boasts 16 parks and reserves, with 13 official beaches, 60km of walkways
and includes many unique tourist attractions that make the place ‘like no
other’. So, if you want to be awake every morning and live a dream, New
Plymouth is the place to be.
