Open 7 days a week and with friendly, professional staff, Whangamata i-SITE Visitor Centre is the perfect place to get information on Waikato and the rest of New Zealand. They stock a good selection of maps and brochures on things to see and do; and there is a free service for booking accommodation and boat trips.

Staff can direct you to the many local beaches, tell you where to find the best and/or least strenuous walks, and tell you about the shopping and services to be found in town. Details on where to hire bikes and about sport, recreational and hobby clubs are available.

The surf is just about always up in Whangamata, one of the best surfing spots in New Zealand. Thousands flock to the beaches during summer to make the most of the surfing breaks along the 6km coast and the sheltered swimming spots in the estuaries at either end.

Details

Local Area: The Coromandel Forest Park and Tairua Forest hug the town and visitors delight in the unique combination of rainforest and the ocean. Whangamata is a great base for indulging in the outdoors, especially for escaping from civilisation off many of the forest trails that lead to secluded beaches. Diversty in the landscape is matched by the variety of painting, craftwork, sculpture and pottery produced by local artists. If your idea of a break is wandering through shops, dining out and sipping on a coffee, Whangamata's town centre will satisfy you.
