Tour of Bay of Plenty, Stage 1 (Ohope Beach)
Ohope Beach is a popular holiday destination during the New Zealand summer, with 11 kms of uninterrupted, white, Pacific beach sand. The western end of the beach is popular for surfing during the summer and Christmas period. The beach looks out to Whale Island, the active volcano White Island and the sweeping coast of East Cape. Abundant sunshine, warm waters and safe swimming make Ohope Beach the perfect summer holiday destination. Maybe that’s why it was voted NZ’s Most Loved Beach - with 11 km of easily walkable white sand beach from the Ohiwa Harbour entrance all the way to West End.
