Ōhope Beach has once again been named NZ's most-loved beach on the AA's list of 101 Must-do's.
The AA' new 101 Must-Do's This Summer list showcases the country's hidden gems and local favourites and names the Bay of Plenty beach at the top of the country's most-loved beaches.
Other Bay of Plenty destinations include climbing Mount Tarawera, mountain biking in Rotorua's Whakarewarewa Forest, visiting Whakaari (White Island) and taking in the view from the top of Mauao in Mount Maunganui.
AA Travel and Tourism GM Greig Leighton said the specially curated list is designed to inspire New Zealanders to get out and explore the world-class attractions close to home, rather than jetting off overseas.
