Things to do Waihi Beach
From the northern end of Waihi Beach you can access the beautiful Orokawa walkway. This eight kilometre walkway offers fantastic views and winds along the coastline to Orokawa Bay and further up to Homunga Bay, which are both secluded beaches that are great spots for a picnic.

Nestled down the road from Waihi Beach is Athenree, a tranquil harbourside haven. Next stop is Bowentown, a popular spot for family picnics, fishing and swimming. Bowentown Domain, located on the headland at the northern entrance to Tauranga Harbour, offers a series of walks which take in culturally significant sites such as Maori pa that date back several hundred years.
During the summer holiday period Waihi Surf Club patrols the beach using a system of flags between which swimmers should keep. Waihi Beach Surf Club organises competitions and events throughout the year and, when surfing conditions are good, you can watch from the beach as boarders challenge the waves.
