Surfcasting and using a kontiki are the 2 main types of fishing from the beach. Boats can be launched from the beach although most people use a tractor.
During the summer months the Waitarere beach Surf Life Saving group of volunteers set up just south of the main entrance
Take a walk along the beach or through the north and south forests. Walk to the wreck of the Hydrabad. Six minute walk to the beach from our holiday home.
Not one of NZ's best surf breaks, but catch a wave when the conditions are right.
With the tide out and the wind coming from a westerly/nor westerly direction this makes ideal land yachting conditions.
Tennis courts and a childrens playground are situated in the Domain. Another play area is at Holmwood Park
