Ninety Mile Beach, Bay of Islands Overview

Te Oneroa-a-Tohe or Ninety Mile Beach is an 88km long stretch of seemingly never-ending paradise and is located to the North of New Zealand. It is often the road taken on sightseeing trips to Cape Reinga. It starts from Ahipara Bay and stretches to Scott Point near Cape Reinga. The southern end or Waipapakauri is the easiest way to get onto the beach. With the right weather, you can drive the entire length of the beach in a four-wheel drive. Rental cars do not provide insurance cover, so it is recommended to take book a tour.

Te Paki is a shallow stream on the northern side that joins the beach and at the end of this stream are far-reaching sand dunes. The Aupouri Forest flanks one side, which provides refuge from the sun. Take in the amazing views of sandy slopes or enjoy surfcasting. People often bring their sandboards or toboggan down these extensive slopes. You can also dig around during low tide for a native shellfish called pipi.
