New Zealand: Moeraki Boulders
The Moeraki Boulders are just out of this world! The fifty or so perfectly-spherical boulders lie on the Koekohe Beach near the provincial town of Moeraki. Approximately a third of the boulders range in size from about 0.5-1.0 m / 1.5-3.5 ft in diameter, while the remainder is much larger at 1.5 to 2.2 ms / 5-7 ft in diameter. The biggest ones weigh over 50 tonnes. The experience of seeing them at sunset and even scaling and climbing on them is awesome, and if you are lucky – you may get the entire beach to yourself.
