Parapara's sweeping sandy beach is perfect for swimming, kayaking and walking along Golden Bay. The native namesake parapara tree is becoming endangered, which pleases most bird watchers. The trees seed heads turn black in the spring and become coated in a sticky, glue like substance. Birds often become stuck to the tree or loose their ability to fly after their feathers get gummed up.
