Whiritoa Beach

Whiritoa Beach is a slice of heaven for residents, boasting a pristine Lagoon at the Northern tip of TOA. The Whiritoa Surf Life Saving Club is situated in the heart of the beach, with a blowhole at the Southern edge. Additionally, there is a charming local Shop/Cafe offering takeaways. I have been visiting this beach since childhood, and it remains my ultimate paradise destination. 🏖️😀
