Fishing

Waihi Beach is a fishing lover's dream. Waihi Beach hosts several boat ramps in addition to a dedicated fishing store. Bordering Coromandel and the Bay of Plenty, this is a great base for a fishing trip. 

Anzac Bay

Anzac Bay is a great spot to take the whole family. Picturesque, calm water in the harbour with a toilet block and picnic tables makes this a great spot to spend a day. You can fish straight off the rocks or use the boat ramp. This spot can get busy, so is a great option for some night fishing. Additionally, Cave Bay is right around the corner. Accessible from the top carpark, Cave Bay is a steep descent but is usually free of large crowds and families. Only a 12-minute drive away, these are some great spots.

This wharf extends 200 metres out from shore, making it a highly popular fishing spot for tourists and locals alike.

Fishing Waihi Beach

You don’t have to go far from our Holiday Park to find some great places to fish. A lot of people surf-cast from the main beach which is just 150m away from our park, also the rocks at the northern end of the beach. There is also a jetty at Anzac Bay Bowentown which is a 15 minute drive away. The boat ramp at the Bowentown Boat and Fishing Club provides great access to the inner harbour.
