As well as being the gateway to the iconic Cape Kidnappers, this stretch of Pacific Ocean coast is renowned as a surfing and fishing hotspot.
These beaches are easily accessible via the Hawke's Bay Trails Landscapes Ride, while the Te Awanga community is also home to three of the region's leading wineries - Elephant Hill, Clearview Estate and Te Awanga Estate.
The area has also forged a reputation as a creative arts mecca which, along with the coastal cycle trail and award-winning wineries, makes it a great day out.
The Cape Coast is also a popular holiday spot with a wide array of private accommodation and retreat properties to choose from, along with the Clifton Motor Camp.
