Theres a nice walk along the coast from the Hokianga harbour heads past the signal point that takes you to a blow hole - you can find out from the locals, particularly the milk bar/grocery shop thats at the bottom of the huge hill in Omapere or the one thats in Opononi to get an idea of the tides and maximise your visit to the blowhole by going when its full tide.
Take care of course and particularly if you have children with you and wear sturdy shoes for the rocky areas.

If you are driving make sure you stop at the top of the huge hill heading in or out of Omapere for a great view of the harbour before you with stunning huge dunes behind.
If you are not taking the opportunity to get around in your own wheels but are in town for a while then take a walk up this hill - there are streets in the omapere village that head up the centre of the hill to a road that runs way up along the top and comes out at the main road at the top of the hill - makes an excellent walk with grande views!!

See the whole Hokianga Harbour before you from an ideal lookout point. Whether great weather or grey stormy weather!! but even more Spectacular on a lovely sunny day. Great views across to the sand dunes and Miti Miti on the other side of the harbour - and even watch the cattle as we did on our last visit in a line along the beach below the dunes.
The old signal station was here stationed above the harbour heads.

Lovely clean white soft sand. sit and relax on it. go for a walk on it. collect shells and interesting bits of drift wood that you will find along the way.
Special!? because i have memories of being there with my Grandmother and other members of my family.

Beautiful Ompere on the beach at Hokianga Harbour!

For years from early childhood we travelled 6-7 hours from Te Kuiti to see my grandparents at Waimamaku - just out of the Waipoua forest famous for its huge and amazing Kauri trees - having endured......

Tiny but pretty Omapere on the north West coast

Omapere is quite small and remote, but does have nice sandy beaches. Population is probably just a few hundred, and apart from Opononi just down the road about 3 kms away, there are no other towns in...
