5.0/5
Just a short walk from Point Beach where you can swim in a great sheltered beach, Topeka might be a bit steep for some but.
It’s not far and well worth the effort for the panoramic views from Paihia around to Te Rawhiti inlet. Doesn’t cost a bean.

5.0/5
One of the most spectacular views of North Island.
Photo opportunities are great even during the day, not to mention golden hours.

4.5/5
If you are in Paihia, I really recommend you taking the ferry to Russell.
The ferry costs little money! Russell is a much nicer place and has much better beaches. And from Russell you can go to the Tapeka Point which is a great lookout with 360 degree views. Highly recommended!!
