Today we explored the area close to Matauri Bay visiting the beaches surrounding Whangaroa Bay. The first stop was Te Ngaire, a quiet beach with a few houses lining the shore.

Further round the coast was a similar beach, Tauranga Bay, which had a beachfront campsite similar to Matauri Bay.

The next stop was Whangaroa itself, a harbour where many game fishing charters depart - maybe next time...

Our final stop was Taupo Bay, a popular spot for surfers.

Royston tried his hand at fishing here, but the tide conditions meant that we weren't successful catching any dinner.
