Ōtarawairere Bay is a hidden gem located on the Whakatāne-Ōhope coast. It's the perfect spot for an unforgettable adventure, accessible only by foot or kayak. The secluded beach boasts stunning views of crystal blue waters and lush green cliffs that are shrouded by beautiful pohutukawa trees. On your visit, enjoy swimming in the warm calm waters of the Pacific or simply relax in peace on the shell-strewn shore. Families, friends, and outdoor enthusiasts alike can all appreciate the peaceful, unique atmosphere of Ōtarawairere Bay.
