Our family from Finland wanted to check out the Cathedral Cove so while waiting for them to check it out we thought we’d check out the beach. A beautiful place there is parking people don’t tend to stay long they just come for a swim...More

There's no particular unique attraction about this beach, it's just gorgeous. Sheltered for the kids, enormous, with space to get away from people. The only problem is parking. There is a very large new carpark at the entrance to town. It's then a 10-15 minute...More

A beautiful sandy beach with a stunning view. The beach is about 1500 metres long and is a beautiful relaxing walk at any time of the day, but sunrise is my favourite!

Plenty of parking and good toilets before walk across Hanei beach. Huge expanse os clean soft, golden sand. Perfect peaceful walking area.

It was a sunny day when we visited, however it was late September too, so a bit chilly in the morning. But with few crowds and spring blooms around, it was a wonderful walk. The rocks across on the beach look awesome with high tide.
