Mandalay Beach is worth a visit. With spectacular views to Chatham Island, spectacular coastline and long white sandy beach
it is a must-see. View the MAP or Videograph.
The Boardwalk from the lookout.
Access to the beach is along a dune-side boardwalk which descends, in several flights, to the sand. The view from the boardwalk is spectacular. The beach is named for the three-masted Norwegian Barque "Mandalay" which was beached on the 15th of May 1911. The captain managed to beach the vessel and all aboard were saved.
The shipwreck appears every few (10) years as the beach erodes and then covers her again.

There are several things about Mandalay beach to consider. There is a suggested donation box with a suggested entry fee. There are toilets but no picnic benches. The last 8k or so is on an unsealed road (dirt track) but is ok for regular vehicles including standard 2wd vehicles.
