Default Re: Where to go?
The simple answer would be Auckland (also known as "The City of Sails" due to all the yachts). I do not think there is a part of Auckland that is more than 1/2 an hour (by car) from the beach. On the west coast there are surf beaches (with black iron sand) and on the east there are swiming and sunbathing beaches with white sand (we generally don't have rocky beaches in Auckland).

As it is also the biggest city in New Zealand (with about 1/4 of the population living there) you should have no problems finding resturants to work in (make sure you have your visa / work permit sorted though).

Enjoy
