Whangarei, Sandy Bay

Relaxing on the shore, feeling so free,
Peaceful waves rolling in so serene.
Grateful for the beauty of the shore,
Nature's beauty forevermore.
One of the East Coast’s most popular board surfing beaches.
Parking is available at Sandy Bay.
After this point the road turns inland, through hills and pockets of highly productive farm land, heading for Hikurangi where it rejoins State Highway 1.
