The Karikari peninsula is one of NZs best kept secrets. Regardless of the wind direction, there is a beach that is relatively sheltered only a short distance away. All the beaches on the peninsula are beautiful, but all for different reasons. Tokerau Beach is 12km long, often with good surf, great for walking, and Tuatuas are plentiful. Maitai Bay is famous for good reason with its double arch bays. Puwheke and Karikari beaches have white squeaky silica sand and usually very few people. And at Rangiputa the water is aqua just like a pacific island resort. Likewise for fishing, beach launching of boats can be from either side of the peninsula to suit the weather, at Rangiputa, or Whatuwhiwhi, or there is also a ramp at Taipa, 15mins away. Also for fisherfolk, the ReelRods fishing shop is a 3min drive away. www.reelrods.co.nz We find most people want to bring their own linen, but this is available for a small fee should you choose to leave yours at home.
