This is a nice site but a few minutes drive further, passed Pilot Hill, it's even better.
Rankers should add this site at Whakamahi Beach. Huge and wild, depending on the wind direction, one site may be better on any one day.

I love this place.
The tide is fascinating to watch going in then out of the beach. The walls at the river mouth create a natural surf pool, you can predict each wave. No reception but you can have it at the FC up the road. Loved walking there from the beach. Beautiful sunset and occasional train passing by and wind mills look interesting. Freedom camp officers very friendly too.
