Small Cave is a coastal sea cave reachable from Wharf Road at low tide — shoot dramatic rock textures, tide pools and light spilling into the cave mouth. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light and long shadows; late afternoon can give backlit sea spray. Access is tide-dependent and slippery; park at the wharf, wear sturdy shoes, and respect local iwi and wildlife. No formal entry fee but avoid entering during rising tide.
