Discover the charm of Waihi Beach throughout the seasons. The gorgeous white sandy beach stretches for around 10 kilometres, so there's plenty of space for walking, swimming, surfing, fishing or simply relaxing with a book. The harbour offers great fishing and Anzac Bay is a sheltered cove suitable for young families. There are many local cafes and casual dining restaurants to enjoy, or take your fish and chips to the beach. Nearby Athenree boasts hot pools that are open year round and the Karangahake Gorge, with it's breathtakingly beautiful scenery, is well worth exploring by foot, cycle or even on the train. On Saturday and Sunday mornings during the summer there are Farmers Markets bursting with delicious local produce and crafts.
