Beautiful hidden beach and estuary. Steep walk down and steep walk back. Not for the faint hearted.

10 Exceptional

Nice beach to take the kids at low tide, as there are rockpools to explore. Access to the beach is down some stairs from the end of the "No exit" Sandspit Road or it is also connected to the Mangemangeroa Valley Walkway. Saw some people also fishing and swimming in the channel

8 Very good

Pleasant enough; if you like boats you will probably like shelly beach. Access is down a steep walkway.

6 Pleasant

At low tide it lives up to its name - lots of shells! Very scenic with bird life.

10 Exceptional

Great for a dip when the tide is high. Also is a nice little stop after doing the trail path
