Camp beside a sandy beach among pōhutukawa trees. A great spot for water activities.

4.5/5

A truly beautiful spot.
Yes - basic facilities (toilets and water) - but a fantastic place to stay. The walks and beaches are simply stunning! Safe swimming. Easy 1 day bikepacking trip from Whangarei via back roads, if that’s your thing 🙂.
