Eroding rock at Cathedral Cove on North Island, New Zealand
Many of the rock formations jutting up out of the surf in Cathedral Cove are gradually eroding away. But for now, they provide unique features to this already stunning beach on New Zealand’s North Island. The cove sits within Te Whanganui-A-Hei Marine Reserve, and is often photographed from within the stone arch on the beach that inspired the name—giving visitors the impression that they’re seeing the beach through the vaulted window of a cathedral.
