Victory Beach, Remote beach on Otago Peninsula, New Zealand
Victory Beach extends for three kilometers along the Pacific Ocean coast, featuring white sand bordered by natural limestone formations called the Pyramids.
The beach received its name from the SS Victory shipwreck in 1861, with fragments of the vessel still visible during low tide periods.
Archaeological discoveries indicate human presence at Victory Beach dating back 500 years, with evidence of Maori settlements through middens and tools.
The beach path starts at Dick Road car park and requires a 50-minute walk through the Okia Reserve, crossing grasslands and sand dunes.
New Zealand sea lions and yellow-eyed penguins frequent this beach, while the adjacent reserve houses numerous skinks and geckos.
