Not all that seems good, is good!
Just south of Opononi is a place called Omapere, driving past you look at the beach and are pulled towards the golden sand. (as with any beach along the coast)This one however is not the best, the beach itself is fine, but swimming here could be a little hard. Under the water of this prestine beach it is very rocky and unpleasant for swimming. The alternative to Omapere is drive a little further till you reach Coopers Beach. Coopers Beach is a great swimming spot and is safe.
