Sightseeing

Stunning, untouched, wild, golden surf beach. Beautiful for a walk and a dip or a surf, although watch the rip... there’s a safer lagoon for children to swim near the beach entrance.

Stunning beach, with huge steep sand dunes to tabogan down (take a boogie board), there’s a gorgeous cliff walk which starts at the northern end of the beach. Sweet village with shops and cafes. There’s a farmers market there on Saturday mornings.

Wild beauty, untouched miles of golden sand and surf. Some of the best surfing in the world is at Te Arai so take your boardkkkw. This beach is a must visit if you want a beautiful beach walk and to feel like you’re miles from anywhere.
