Kaitia Beach is one of the most historic beaches in New Zealand. It is the first landing site of the Horouta waka, which brought the ancestors of tangata whenua, and James Cook, the first European to land on New Zealand. A WWII gun emplacement sits on the Titirangi Reserve behind the beach. Other features of the reserve are nature walking trails and summit tracks and four look points.
The most popular activity at this part of the beach is water-skiing, slaloming and wavesailing. A concrete boat ramp provides easy access, across this pebbly beach, to Poverty Bay.
