High likelihood this one has been muggled. Looked in the obvious places with no luck.
Despite an extensive hunt, and a possible hiding spot, we couldn't find it. We really enjoyed our day here at this wondeful beach though. Hopefully will get back one day.
Great beach. Easy find on a cold and windy day. Was here 16 years ago on The Spirit of New Zealand. Great to be back.
Very cool place and a fantastic view. We loved the black stones at the beach.

wonderful wee stroll at low tide today. So relaxing and such a beautiful place.
Set off from Paihia in thick fog this morning. It had pretty much burnt off by the time we were heading for Taupo Bay. As we reached the top of the hill and got our first glimpse of the bay, we saw a most amazing sight. The tops of the hills to the right of the bay were still smothered in fog, and "waterfalls" of fog were spilling down the valleys to the sea, which was bathed in sunshine. Took a photo on our return journey, by which time the effect had lessened somewhat - posted below.
We have never visited this lovely beach before, and had no trouble accessing the cache despite it being only an hour before high tide. Thanks for bringing us here.
Dropped Geocoin.

one of our fav spots in northland. added small photo frame, contents safe and dry
Lovely bay with some muggles doing the usual beach activities. Not interested in our odd behaviour and erratic tree climbing. Nice dry hiding spot seems safe from potential tsunamis! Placed NZ 4 corners TB.(.needs a ride as far north as can go) and took the tropical lei TB
What a gorgeous spot! We were fortunate enough to come visiting with some friends for the long weekend and just had to introduce them to geocaching at the same time! With all 5 junior cachers on hand sent off in different directions around the 'clue' the cache was quickly discovered much to the delight of the JC's. In: Lei TB
Awesome spot, had a job close by (within 500m), do not recommend climbing trees in a shirt and tie.

Searching with Grobyc & was convinced that the tide had taken this one. It always pays to look again as it is easy to miss some things...especially on a wonderful sunny day & the glare on the glasses! TFTC
This was a case of how did we not see that, im sure we looked there 
Lovely beach, several muggles about today.

Muggles reasonably close but more interested in pulling in boats ahaed of the approaching squall. Took coffee geocoin and left macDonalds magnet and clamp. Back at car before the rain - lucky we had the picnic first! T4TC
One of out favourite Northland beaches, unfortunately today rain squalls hitting the beach. A few gallant surfers out though.

11.10am. Always enjoy a visit to Taupo Bay. Out today with the Pud. A really great place. Plenty of muggles around this morning but the camera is always a good decoy.

What a wonderful specimen! Butterfly spied the hidey hole, but needed the aid of the nut to retrieve it (RadioNut50)
Great hide indeed.
Left a butterfly and a little gift for ConTon - in bag marked for them, please leave it for them.
Cache find #848.

A beautiful spot! I took a ride from my backpackers location for some geocaching today in good weather. This was the first one I got. Found it quickly. Cache is in good condition.

A highly enjoyable find at dusk in a gorgeous location, and the first time out caching with an assistant, the Labradora Lickypuppia - who then had an absolute blast up a deserted beach.
TNLNSL - thanks for the cache
