I absolutely adore this place! Whether it's during low tide for collecting cockles or high tide for taking a refreshing swim, the views here are absolutely stunning.

The day we visited, the beach was incredibly beautiful and peaceful. We discovered a lovely little coffee shop conveniently located near the main road. As for public toilets, we couldn't locate any, if they were indeed available.

It's a great spot for boating, having a picnic, and exploring. There's a playground where kids can climb and play. The shaded areas are perfect for picnicking, and there's a convenient boat ramp for larger boats to easily access the water. It's a peaceful and relaxing place with stunning views.

The beach is too shallow and cannot be compared to the nearby Waitawa Regional Park Public Beach. It was closed last summer due to pollution overflow.
