Idyllic white sand, bush fringed beach.
Walking access only from either the car park on Matapouri Road (30 mins round trip), through groves of ancient Puriri trees or via Matapouri Bay (40 mins one way).
Great for swimming, snorkelling and picnics.
Basic toilets and well maintained pathways.
No direct road access is available so you need to park at the top of the hill on Matapouri Road.
