New Zealand is famous for our 'Fish & Chips' (deep-fried fast food). At the Matapouri Bay Store you'll experience some of the best Fish & Chips in the country. We definitely recommend Fish & Chips on the beach at twilight - truly magical!

Sightseeing

Quite simply one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The beach is sheltered and generally very safe for swimming (always take great care at NZ beaches, as there can be strong currents). You can also swim in the sheltered estuary, which is beautiful, relaxing and very safe.

There's a bit of a hike to get there, but it's well worth the effort. The Mermaid Pools have to be seen to be believed. Take your swimsuit, as the crystal clear waters are irresistible.

Try the Matapouri to Whale Bay walk - it includes some of the most stunning clifftop views you will ever see. We never get sick of walking between these two beautiful beaches.

A beautiful beach that offers great surf on a shallow and relatively safe beach. Ask the locals to point you toward the local mussel beds - at low tide you can pick your own mussels (a delectable shellfish) to take home and cook.

Essentials

A wider range of products than the Matapouri Store, including petrol and LPG. Still a little expensive, so we recommend stocking up at the supermarket in Whangarei before heading out to the coast.
