East Coast

Bream Bay

The relaxed mood of Bream Bay is a by-product of the beautiful environment and the sunny climate. Discover miles of white sandy surf beaches, tranquil rural scenery, walking tracks, native bush, waterfalls and caves and the quaint village of Waipu.

The beaches of Bream Bay have sand and surf in common, although each one has slightly different characteristics. Ruakaka is all wide open spaces-used to great advantage during Whangarei Racing Club's "turf meets the surf" race meetings. A surf patrol operates during the season and there is a playground for the children. Waipu Cove has more of a village feeling with shops nearby. It's an open surf beach, patrolled in season, but has a lovely river at one end for the children to swim in. Langs Beach is rather exclusive, a beautiful safe swimming beach, lined with pohutukawa trees.
