Maitai Bay, Karikari Peninsula
This is a sheltered bay that is perfect for swimming as the waters are clear and warm. The Maitai Bay Headland Track is perfect for travelers who want more activity than only sitting idle on the beach.
You have to take a 90 minute hike through scrub land and farm to see the awesome views of Matai Bay and Waikato Bay. However, fishing is strictly prohibited in this area.
