Nestled into the Mahia coastline, where the Maungawhio Lagoon meets the sea, you'll find Oraka Beach. A break on a sandy beach located at the mouth of the Kopuawhara Estuary, makes this spot ideal for surfcasting, spinning and riding waves suitable for all levels.
The waves are punchy and fun for surfers, and if you are keen on light tackle fishing you could spend hours enjoying what this beach has to offer, you may even catch yourself a kahawai!
There is also a popular freedom camping site nearby, where campers can stay for up to 3 nights with public toilet facilities available.
