Pancake Rocks
Punakaiki, or “Pancake Rocks,” is a rather unusual geologic formation of many thin layers of limestone, now exposed in stacks looking like pancakes. Jutting out into the Tasman Sea, this peninsula of bizarre rock shapes also has some blowholes. When the swells roll in from Australia across the Tasman, the noise and power can be overwhelming.
