Ohope Beach


Our next stop for two nights was a cabin at the Top 10 campsite at Ohope Beach just to the east of Whakatane. The beach is 11km long and popular for surfing, fishing and, as you can see, horse riding. This is taken from the campsite and Whale Island is in the distance.



The other end of Ohope Beach is known as the West End and is the main surfing area. As the tide was out the seagulls were gathering to try and find pipi shellfish in the sand.




On the other side of the Ohope peninsula is the Ohiwa Harbour, another popular spot for fishing, though we decided to try our hand on the beach - no success this evening.
