If you really want to explore nature, here it is. The beach, the rock pools, you can see fish swimming in the sea around the rocks. You might even see a seal, but don't get too close they will bark at you! Remeber to observe not disturb and leave everything as you left it.

This is the Wairarpa's best kept secret! The East Coast is famous for it's beaches and I think Riversdale Beach is one of the best. Their are rocks to climb, rock pools to discover, great swimming and friendly locals. If your visit the Wairarapa you need to visit Riversdale Beach!

Riversdale Beach is where our family go every summer. It has a real community feel and it is such a lovely place to be. This fishing is great launch a boat, put out a net, dive for paua, catch a crayfish all the best fishing is here! A great place to take the kids swimming, find starfish in the rock pools and play in the soft sand.
