Gisborne and Hawkes Bay

Return to Beaches

The east coast of the North Island of New Zealand.

 Kaiaua Beach - Gisborne


 

Just north of Tolaga Bay - drive to the far end of the road and walk across the creek at the farmer's gate. (But it's usually deserted...) .


 Ocean Beach (lookout) - Hawkes Bay


 

This view north is from the lookout over the beach. It is a little historic now: the prominent tree in the foreground has gone. The main nude area is about 400m north of the surf lifesaving club at the end of the road down from this lookout.


 Ocean Beach - Hawkes Bay


 

Although in the main holiday periods there tends to be a preponderance of textiles around (often arriving in 4WDs) on hot days, nude use is still evident - and more to the point: no problem!


 Waimarama Beach


 

The domain is near the trees on the left of the couple. (Although 15 km further from Hastings, Waimarama is more popular with the textiled, than Ocean Beach.)
