Rapanui Rock

Rapanui Rock

Rapanui is a notable sea stack which stands at the entrance of the Heathcote/Avon estuary near Christchurch, New Zealand. The rock rises about 11 metres above the sea, depending on the state of the tide. The boating channel into the estuary lies on the northern side of the rock. Although not used as a shipping port, the estuary is accessible to large yachts despite the bar and difficult tidal conditions.

Rapanui stands close to the shore and is easily seen from the bus on the road to Sumner.
