WHAKAMAHIA BEACH

At Whakamahia Beach you'll find black sand and lots of driftwood. Get creative and build some artwork out of the driftwood or just relax and enjoy the view and the sounds of the ocean.

You can light a bonfire here, but make sure to check the fire season, you are not allowed to light fires here in a prohibited fire season. Locals enjoy coming to Whakamahia to go fishing, enjoy a picnic or cook lambtails on a bonfire with family and friends.

This beach is not safe for swimming.

FISHING

This beach is great for fishing for kahawai and snapper. Especially at sunset your chances of catching snapper are good.
