This is an idyllic place, picture-perfect on a calm day. Some people call it paradise and it’s relatively unknown. There is a camp ground here although it’s mostly holiday home and bach accommodation. Fantastic for the family with white sand beaches on either side, places to snorkel, kayak, fish and frolic.

Clear blue waters lap both sides of this extensive farm-based peninsula on a calm day. It’s a short detour from the Gisborne-Napier Pacific Coast Highway and is known for fishing, diving, kayaking, surfing and swimming. It doesn’t matter which way the wind is blowing because you’ll find a sheltered beach on one side. Black’s Beach black-sand faces south with views to Napier, along with the more sheltered white-sanded Opoutama. Whereas Mahanga Beach and The Reefs face north toward Gisborne. Accommodation is plentiful with many choices and there are dining and pub options.

Home of one of NZ’s most popular summer dive spots ‘Black Reef’ and the famous Tongariro shipwreck which sunk in 1916.
