1. Orokawa Bay
Allow about 45 minutes to walk to this secluded beach and, along the way, admire the spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and Waihi Beach. Beautiful pohutukawa trees and twinkly white sand, this little bay is a beaut for fishing, picnicking, bush walking and surfing. The track starts at the northern end of Waihi Beach, wending its way to Orokawa Bay.
2. Homunga Bay
After you've had your fill of Orokawa, head further north to Homunga Bay along the coastal walkway. Food, drink, and good shoes essential, as this will take about a further 90 minutes. Words like unspoilt and paradise spring to mind. Passes through private land, so please be courteous to the generous owners who allow visitors to walk through.
