Located within the Himatangi township approximately 30 minutes' drive west of Palmerston North and home to the Palmerston North Surf Life Saving Club. Make a rugged driftwood hut to have a picnic in, or explore the sand dune field – the largest in NZ at over 20km long. A holiday park is nearby with an adventure playground, skate rink and mini-golf area.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
