Whale Bay
National reserve
ππ The best of the bays along here I think. I love how quiet this place is in spring, sometimes you're the only one down there! Beautiful calm water, great for swimming if you're brave enough for the cold water!

Surfpad Pataua
Tourist attraction
ππ One of the most beautiful beaches in NZ. It's almost always empty, so you feel like it's your own private beach!
It's a very long beach so you can really walk or run this one, if it's exercise that you're after.
Good surfing, and good kite surfing on certain wind directions.
All in all, I, no doubt...

Scenic spot
ππ Great walk!
Easy walk, step rise at the end heading up to the light house. The walks suggests approximately 1hour. Highly recommend checking tides and going at low tide. Wear decent shoes for crossing the rock platform.
