OOpunake Beach is a very popular South Taranaki Beach. There are no large rivers near the beach. However, the freshwater stream from the Opunake Power Station flows across the southern end of the beach.
Surf lifeguards patrol the beach at times during weekends and public holidays over the summer. The beach is accessed from car parks along the beach front and the adjacent campground.
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.
