View of a west coast beach in New ZealandWest Coast – the land of coasters:
West Coast is a sparsely populated city of New Zealand and is an administrative region of the country. Scenic beauty of the land is the main attraction of West Coast. It is rich in coastlines and mountains and has a beautiful collection of bush. The rain forest adds to the natural attraction of West Coast and of course a heavy rainfall flourishes the land.

West coast has industries including coal mining and forestry and processing of woods. Fishing and farming is also developing as advanced industries in West Coast. Tourism in itself is a separate industry growing with rapid pace in West Coast. Out of the farming industries, dairy farming is highly popular. Manufacturing of green stone and jewelry out of it is another popular industrial business occurring in this land. All these industries have attributed to the growth of regional economy from this city, contributing to the wealth of New Zealand.

Flora and fauna of New Zealand are other major attractions of the land. You can see some rare birds with this land being their habitat. The local people of West Coast are generally known as coasters. This indicates their hospitality and friendly approach they show towards tourists. They have high values like self reliability and loyalty as their identifying characters.

You can see the pancake rocks and blow holes which are the famous attractions of West Coast. The beauty of pancakes lies in the thin, horizontal layered appearance with varying thickness. In short, West Coast and its beautiful glaciers creeping to the rain forests have a unique role in the life of New Zealand and its inhabitants.
