Soft black sand beach, good surf - multiple breaks, amazing clear water in summer. Northern end leads to giant sand dune & Sugarloaf Islands, teeming with bird-life at dusk and home to seasonal seal colonies - do not approach. Sand gets very hot in midday sun, wear appropriate footwear. Do not sit near cliff-face as it is unstable. Can be rocky with small, smooth, riverstone-like rocks depending on recent tides dumping or removing sand. At times there are low-tide pools to sit in, fantastic for kids. Flat and tranquil Herekawe walkway starts at the bottom carpark. Large rocks at Southern end with fascinating moss, seaweeds, rockpools, miniature mussels etc. Best sunsets in the region

Beautiful, swimmable black sand beach and a marine reserve. The wonderful Paritutu Rock is worth climbing for the spectacular views.
Our closest beach - just five minutes drive away. If the tides are right then a glorious spot to enjoy a black sand beach, and dog friendly too!
