Top 10 Stunning Beaches You Only Find In New Zealand

With 15,000 km of coastline, New Zealand is a beach lover’s paradise. From relaxing days and brilliant sunsets to active excursions like swimming, kayaking, and surfing, its varied coasts provide it with everything. It’s simple to find a wonderful beach in New Zealand, but here are our top 10 recommendations for this island country.

1. Ninety Mile Beach

You won’t feel shortchanged at this destination despite the fact that the famed Ninety Mile Beach on North Island is only 88 km (54.6 miles) long. An amazing stretch of sand and limitless ocean, backed by enormous dunes, runs from close to Kaitaia to close to Cape Reinga (Te Rerenga Wairua), New Zealand’s spiritual northern tip.

Te Paki Stream parking park is an excellent place to enjoy this seemingly endless beach, which is located just outside of the Cape. From here, a boardwalk connects to Scott Point and the beach in the north.

2. Piha beach

Piha is known for its rough surf and powerful undertows, but it is nevertheless deserving of the title of Auckland’s most popular beach. Enjoy the scorching black sand, play in the foaming white waves (always swim within the flags), and explore the beach and nearby walking trails to better appreciate Taitomo Island and Lion Rock’s angular headlands.

3. Cathedral Cove in the Coromandel

Gorgeous Cathedral Cove won’t win any medals for serenity, but because of its fame, it is nevertheless worthwhile to see. If you’re not a fan of crowds, you should visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon to enjoy the famed enormous stone arch and natural waterfall shower. There is a snorkeling trail in the rocky Gemstone Bay where you might possibly encounter large snappers, crayfish, and stingrays.

4. New Chums Beach

The Coromandel Peninsula is home to several stunning beaches, but New Chums is our top selection due to its seclusion. Although it’s only a 30-minute walk from the Whangapoua parking lot, many people choose not to even try because of the requisite rock-hopping and scampering. The reward is a beach that is so golden, a sea that sparkles, and gnarled pohutukawa trees that are so beautiful (and spectacular in red blooms at Christmas). Also, you can be the only person there.

5. Ngarunui Beach

Waxhead center is close to Raglan, and serious surfers frequent Manu Bay, which is said to offer the largest left-hand break in the entire globe. Mere mortals are better off at the adjacent Ngarunui, where the surf is kinder, and swimming is safer, especially from October to April when lifeguards are on duty. On nice summer days, it’s a bustling and entertaining spot, especially when guests at Raglan Surf School are trying out this surfing thing.

6. Wainui Beach

It’s not surprising that New Zealand has more Wainuis than you can shake an oar at, as the name Wainui means “large water” in Maori. This Wainui, which is close to Gisborne, has some wonderful swimming and a good surf break, and it’s surrounded by a number of dune and bush reserves. A close-knit community of ocean enthusiasts lives in Wainui, including longtime members of the surf lifesaving club and the Wainui Store, which serves up tasty fish and chips.

7. The breathtaking beaches of Abel Tasman National Park

It’s difficult to choose the greatest beach in Abel Tasman National Park because the shoreline is home to the stunning beach after the stunning beach. Anchorage claims a strong claim for its outstanding natural surroundings, which include a gradually sloping arc of golden sand and thick vegetation, and its accessibility to a magnificent section of the coastline Great Walk. It is possible to spend the night in the conservation hut or camping, which should give you enough time to make the quick detour to the enchanted Cleopatra’s Pool.

8. Scott’s Beach

This isolated beach may also be reached from the northernmost point of the West Coast Road. It is the coastal crescendo of the multi-day Heaphy Walk through Kahurangi National Park. And what a journey it is—the breathtakingly beautiful drive via Karamea to Khaihai, the final camping area with a stunning estuary backdrop.

From there, you can enter the national park and travel to Scott’s Beach by ascending a short hill. The captivating view includes craggy rocks, a nikau palm forest, and tremendous waves tearing at the driftwood-covered beach. It is most likely cloaked in a salt mist.

9. Wharariki Beach

After the 20-minute agricultural tour in western Golden Bay, get ready for an amazing surprise. Boom! Strong dunes descend to an untamed West Coast sea. Despite being battered by the waves, craggy rock islands stay fast in the shallows. Seals can be seen scurrying around. Sands that are moist and wavy are illuminated.

Don’t bother with the beach towel since swimming at Wharariki Beach is extremely risky. Nonetheless, make an effort to visit in the early morning or late afternoon, and don’t forget to bring your camera.

10. Purakaunui Bay

This is a true hidden gem in a very tranquil area of The Catlins, Southland, 16 kilometers from the closest town (Owaka, population 300). Only a minor (and CGI) role in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is its main claim to fame. And that’s great since peace and quiet are what Purakaunui Bay is all about.

It is a lovely beach with tall cliffs surrounding it, as well as little areas of natural bush and a sizable grassy reserve. Except for swimming when the surf is off-shore and surfing when it is on-shore, there is very nothing to do. It’s the ideal beach for deep relaxation.
