You don't know what you've missed until you've seen the North Island's East Coast beaches, Gisborne through to Te Kaha. (Plus NZ's xmas tree the Pohutakawa.)

I consider Piha one of the most beautiful beaches ever. But that said, beach access by all in NZ is to be envied. One is never very far from a beach in NZ. Camping on the honor system for paying was often encountered. The joyful aspect of freedom was most attractive to me.

Haumoana through to Napier around Hawke Bay are IMHO great beaches for surf casting (fishing on a long line from the beach), but a bit too dangerous for swimming. Gisborne's beaches, Wainui, Midway and Kaiti are great for surf and swimming.

"So many beaches, so little time!"

We were in Tarunga/Mt Manganui for 2 months and saw only 1 beach on the list.

The Mount is a perfect swimming spot and the traditional walk up the actual mountain is easy enough for the young and lazy, but still very rewarding in terms of views


Walked to the top twice/week while Ray golfed - the view was more than spectacular. Doubt if I can do this easy walk now.

Given the increasing rate of skin aging I am seeing, beaches have been stricken from my Websters. To me the word "beach" has become synonymous only with "regret."

Have to admit to being a beachbunny but N.Z. is a bit far to try out.. :)- Spent the afternoon at a local beach but sadly we will not be going back for a while. Vandals stole the taps/fittings in the washrooms and smashed the toilets. Don't know how long it will take to fix them but they have the Johnny on the jobs there which I hate...
