Ninety Mile Beach
Ninety Mile Beach is the fabled strip of sand that stretches from Ahipara to Scott Point, five kilometres south of Cape Maria van Diemen. Truth be told, it is actually 96 kilometres long.
This beach is officially a highway, but is really only suitable for 4WD vehicles. You can ride your bike, or pause and enjoy a swim in the surf and a relaxing sunbathe. At low tide you can gather tuatua (a type of shellfish).
