More than 100 species of native flax species were planted close to this campsite in 2014 by students from Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Mangatuna and the Uawa-based EIT Tairawhiti horticulture course with funding from the DoC, making this 2km long sandy beach even more beautiful. Unfortunately, water run off from surrounding farmlands have contaminated water here. There is a permanent boil water advisory at the campground and swimming is discouraged.
