The area provides easy access to idyllic campgrounds, great walking tracks and picnic areas. Opportunities for outdoor recreation are endless, from enjoying the stunning views, bird watching and tramping, to swimming, diving, fishing and surfing the waves or the extensive sand dunes at Te Paki Stream.
The East Coast is generally more sheltered with sandy bays suitable for water sports and rocky headlands where fishing, snorkelling and scuba diving are popular.
The West Coast is more wild and exposed than the East, with spectacular golden sand dunes.
You can explore the area on your own, or there are a good number of tourism operators offering specially designed tours.
