Urupukapuka Bay, perfect for my first swim this summer

Urupukapuka Island is a great day trip.  The seaward side has high seacliffs, while there are also idyllic beaches.  The walks are fairly strenuous, but well worth it.  While we were here the low cloud cleared and we were treated with a warm sunny summer's day, warm enough for a swim!
