About Wharekawa Harbour
At the southern end of Opoutere Beach lies the winding entrance to the Wharekawa Harbour, which is protected by a spectacular sandspit. The spit is a breeding ground for several endangered species of native seabirds including the New Zealand Dotterel. There isn't a marina in this harbour. This was a lovely place to visit - We stayed at a nearby campground and spent many quality hours playing at the beach and the surrounding forests with our young children.
