Opoutere is a beautiful untouched white sand beach.
Head North on SH25 and you’ll see the Opoutere turnoff on your right (about 10mins). Continue about another 5mins and keep a lookout for the small public parking lot on your right. From there you walk across the little bridge, through forest and to the beach.

Whenuakura or ‘Donut Island’ is one of NZs most beautiful coastal attractions. A large volcanic blow hole has created a turquoise lagoon in the centre of the small island. Absolutely amazing!
On a fine day hire kayaks & head out from estuary (if you are confident – it’s about 600m and you may have to ride the swell into the island). Or some companies take tours out there.
