Photo: Gillespies Beach Sunset New Zealand
Standing on Gillespies Beach on the South Island of New Zealand, the sunset glistens off the rocks on the beach.
Gillespies Beach near Fox Glacier on the South Island of New Zealand is a tranquil place to watch a sunset. The rays from the sun glisten off the small pebbles on the beach as the sun dips behind the hills and settles down for another evening.
Gillespies Beach on the South Island of New Zealand is a historic gold mining settlement which peaked in the 1860's. The houses along Gillespies Beach are the last remains of the gold town that had a short lived high point.
