Each beach in Abel Tasman National Park has unique coloring in the sand. At Te Pukeatea Bay for example, the sand has an almost orange tinge to it. The variation of color is caused by rivers washing down different mineral compositions toward each beach. Further, when the sand is wet the color becomes stronger.
