On a rough windy, rainy day watching ships leave harbour because it's too rough at port makes an interesting few hours. It amazes me how those small tugs push/pull those massive ships in and out and remain unscathed. Well done wharvies on such a blustering day.
Hard to beat on a sunny day, this is a little gem hidden away by the port, but definitely designed for kids, both big and small.. toilet facilities available, decent sized bins to help them not to be overflowing in summer, and our famous black sand beach to splash around in the surf, look for shells or just sit on a bench or picnic table and take in the sea air..something for everyone, just don't forget a coat or jumper in case the sun goes in, the wind can be bitterly cold on occasion here!! Oh, and don't forget to get your ice cream from the van down here too, lockdown hasn't been kind to these sorts of vendors so it's great to see them back and selling the obligatory ice cream on a seaside trip..lets keep them in business this summer..
Nice beach next to Port Taranaki. If you go for a walk along the beach take a bag. Lots of rubbish coming out of the storm water drains that feed onto the beach.
Tide was rough but once you got further than the waves beak the sea was calm. Absolutely beautiful. Only one suggestion was they people should be more in control of their dogs,Thier meant to be under control with a lead.
More old school freedom! Ideal for learners and little people.
Last beach on coastal walkway going south. Ngamotu as the names suggest looks out on islands. It provided kaimoana (seafood) and was a settlement for Maori. In 1841 the first settled from Southern England arrived here. Later oil was found right on the beach. Today with the breakwater in front it provides calm water for wind surfers and swimmers. It has less surf than other beaches. There is a port to the south and lots of information signs. Food is not available . Lots of shade and car parking.
Great sheltered beach for kids. The tide marks on the beach today were green and slimy. I hope the water is tested regularly by the council
