Whanarua Bay is considered by many to be the prettiest bay on the coast. The climate
here, as on so much of the coast, is without equal in New Zealand and as some claim, in
the world - Whanarua Bay has its own sub-tropical micro climate. The small beach is ideal
for picnics, swimming & snorkelling. Access to the bay is over private land and vehicle
access & parking is limited during peak holiday season. Caution is required at all times.
Visitors are asked to walk the short distance down to the beach. There is also a walking
track through untouched native forest to a beautiful waterfall, starting at the bridge over the
Whanarua Stream. Access is over private land and permission must be obtained from the
Park family (Ph. 07-325 2034). This waterfall is Waahitapu (sacred) to local Māori, please
treat the track and bush with appropriate respect.
