NOTE: If your looking at holding your wedding ceremony here, please contact Hauraki District Council to find out more about any consent requirements. SURFING WHIRITOA: The steep shore creates a solid beach break for the experienced surfer chasing short rides and a wandering sandbar for those keen to search.
