About a 45 minute drive from Waitangi, again the Department of Conservation has provided a rest area so a good place to stop and have a rest and bite to eat.

Easy access to the beach which has lovely white sand, the sea is a beautiful colour, great place for a paddle and to look for treasures.

Lots of Oyster Catchers roaming around, purely and enjoyable place to visit, you can hang out here for the day if you like, very peaceful place to be.

Awesome to see the Chatham Islands Ake Ake plantings by the community and DoC.

This beach is world class. Miles of golden sand, native trees, crystal clear water, even breakers and, if you wiggle your toes, she’ll fish.

Highly recommended.

Another very scenic part of the Island, most places have a brief history on a plaque, there are very few people on the Island and probably never more than a dozen or more tourists, every where you go you are the only ones there.
