Rawhiti

A small town based near beaches, Rawhiti offers an ideal location for travelers looking to enjoy the soft sands of North Island and its luscious waters. It’s also a holiday destination diverse with culture; you’ll find a vibrant Maori culture, two ancient marae, and plenty of spots for sailing, fishing, and watersport activities. One of the best beaches in the region is based in Taupiri Bay. It offers crystal waves that brush onto soft sands and a dramatic backdrop with stoic rocks and vegetation. Be sure to do the Cape Brett Track that starts in Rawhiti. It will introduce you to the region’s native and regenerating bush, concluding in Deep Water Cove, where you’ll find plenty more breathtaking beaches with dramatic features.
