Open sanctuary

Ocean days at Tāwharanui

A protected peninsula of white-sand beaches, regenerating bush and birdsong, with a lovely surf beach at its heart. One of the most special places on the coast for a group day.

Wild, protected and beautiful

Tāwharanui is an open sanctuary, a place where native bush, birdlife and a marine reserve all meet the sea. The main surf beach is a wide arc of white sand that feels a world away, yet sits right on our coast.

It is a wonderful setting for a group ocean day, where surfing sits alongside a genuine sense of place and care for the environment. We run school and group sessions here by arrangement, tailored to your numbers and goals.
