From small, deep rockpools perfect for swimming, to spectacular rock formations, that create the pristine fishing conditions for snapper, kahawai and kingfish, this stretch of the coast is a fantastic playground for water lovers. This is also a fantastic spot for divers.

Follow Mahia East Coast Road from the start for about 8.5km - until just after you cross the one-lane bridge over Whangawehi stream. There's no dedicated parking, but there is plenty of space on the grass verge to park.
