The beach at Te Puru recreation park is a very pleasant and safe area. It's a great spot for exercise, taking a leisurely stroll, and there's even a children's play area. Additionally, the park features a skateboard ramp. Definitely worth checking out.

Kellys Beach is a beautiful, sheltered spot that is well-loved by locals. The nearby playing fields and Community Center are always bustling with activity. I often kick off my e-bike rides from this area. The paths for cyclists and pedestrians are top-notch and offer stunning views of the sea all the way to Pine Harbour Marina in the west and Maraetai Beach through Omana Regional Reserve in the east.
