At Pancake Rocks on the West Coast. The original Māori name for the area is Punakairi or Punangari depending on dialect, however when it was transcribed by a European the cursive writing of the R was mistaken for a K, leading the common name to be incorrect after published in maps and news articles.

This is a great place to stop for a walk, (costly) museum trip, and to see some amazing rock formations.

Looking out to the ocean off the west coast of New Zealand. The rock formations are layered like little pancakes. They are fused together. There is a very large rock stack in the middle of an open area off the main edge of it all.
There are numerous pancake rocks here, which are mostly skinny and long with deep gaps in between them.
Harakeke (flax) reaches out in the bottom left. The whole area (out of shot) is fully planted with them making a flax forest. The spot in shot has a small beach area and the rest of the water is quite shallow. Much of the rocks and cliff face are the pancake formation, but there are some areas where it's flat.
