(Not getting to) Green Sands Beach

Today we went to a place called Green Sands Beach. Well, we tried, but we didn't. It's called that because the sand is green - which is kind of unusal.

In our guidebook, it says that you can either park in car park and walk, or if you have a 4 wheel drive car, especially a 4 wheel drive car that you don't feel attached to (because you rented it) you can drive there.

Here's our car, in the car park. Notice that there are only two cars there, and they both have four wheel drive.

Car Park


We tried to set off from the car park, got about 10 feet, and then reversed nervously.


Bits of the road where relatively OK.

Bits of it were a bit grim:

Bits of it were kind of damp:

And bits of it (and this is the part that made us hit reverse) were just silly.

We tried to walk, but it was very, very windy, and didn't manage.

Thanks to the power of the interweb (and Flickr and Creative Commons) I can put a picture here anyway.

We really wanted to do this drive/hike but a) not have a 4-wheel drive and b) anat being 6 months pregnant we figured it was a bad idea.
