Surf lessons held at Te Arai, the East Coasts #1 surf beach with crystal clear water and white sand!
Mangawhai offers simple, fun activities for all ages. The beach is one of the main highlights. You can swim, walk along the sand, or just relax by the water. There are both surf beaches and calm areas, so you can choose what suits you best. Surf lessons are available for beginners, and the waves are friendly for those learning. Paddleboarding and kayaking are also popular in the nearby estuary, where the water is calmer and easy to explore.
The Mangawhai Cliff Walk is a favourite for people who enjoy hiking. It’s not too hard and has great views the whole way. You can also explore small bush tracks or take a peaceful walk around the lake. There are local food spots, vineyards, and places to enjoy a coffee or meal with a view. On weekends, the markets are busy with fresh produce, baked goods, and handmade items.
Whether you want to be active or just take it slow, Mangawhai is a good place to enjoy the outdoors.
