Bring a picnic bag or pack a sandwich and head for this awesome windy beautiful beach, a mere 7 to 8 km out of Waiuku. We bring our dog, Lace, and she loved running along this great flat white beach. We have branches and trees washed ashore making it pure and untouched. I love viewing the tides coming in, with the wind bringing in the high waves. To add in the beauty, we are able to see Kiwi brings their horses and ride along this great long beach, the timing was right seeing the horses racing along this wonderful beach. It fell peaceful for me and watching Lace enjoying herself was just great.
Kariotahi Beach is a quiet and semi private beach.
It's mostly known and used by the locals and as it was still winter, there wasn't anyone about except a person walking alone.
Beautiful sand and lovely waters. I'm sure it'll be packed come summer.
Great to see so many out enjoying this beach. Long beach, firm sand. Ideal for horses, bikes and take your vehicle down and put out the contiki. Lovely to walk along. Waterfall not far away along the beach. Too cold to swim but looked quite safe.
A real East coast NZ beach that is still like our beaches were 30 yrs ago. Wonderful for a stroll along at the end of the day. Bit of a noise earlier as the folks with children who have bikes have somewhere to go to ride. They then have the enjoyment of a BBQ on the each with family and friends together doing what Kiwi's do. Need to keep an eye on the tide though and the waves. Please do not swim on your own or at the end of the day without life savers on duty. Enjoy it for a walk sit and watch the sunset enjoy the views and wonderful fresh air.
Beautiful beach with fantastic views without the crowds
Great setting for a range of activities and wonderful walking environment
Great spot, rugged and stunning. Beautiful waterfall. Lots of bikes on the beach but they were really considerate.
