This surfer’s paradise is located just 5 miles from Raglan and is home to the world famous Indicators and Whale Bay breaks. Surfing here is strictly for the hardcore as the waters are very fierce and the shore rocky. Visitors can enjoy a walk on the beautiful shoreline or head to the Whale Bay Reserve which has fantastic views of the ocean and picnic area. Te Toto Gorge is also nearby, where you can explore the local plant life and a slightly challenging trek, down the gorge.
