On our way to Pancake rocks we discovered Secret Mission Impossible Beach! It is precisely 10.0 km, 9 mins from Runanga town if you are going to pancake rocks! :) There is parking space for one big camper van and maybe 2 - 3 regular cars. Not more! I would like to say that it is secret place known only to few people and we where lucky enough to see this beach! There are coordinates and mark on our google map so take a look and stop there if you are brave enough to go down there.
You will have to use steep stairs and ropes in order to get down to the beach, but the good thing is that all of that is there permanently so you don't have to take your own equipment. When we where going down we didn't know what to expect, and every part of the track was a surprise! :)
Here you can see the way to the Secret Mission Impossible beach...

Ha Ha! That was one adventurous way how to get down to this unique beach! :) We all loved the hike that wasn't long and tiring but instead it was lots of fun and free! We will definitely remember this little hike as a great secret corner in west coast of New Zealand. :)
After this little adventure we suggest to go to see Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Blow Holes, but it is much more impressive to see them in high tide and when the see is a little rough. Big waves and wind is perfect time to go there!
