Latest reviews on Port Motueka's beaches

Kina Beach I
8 Jordi "The Dutch Dynamo" Van Veen

This place is absolutely stunning! I highly recommend visiting during sunset, as the water shimmers like gold. Moreover, the water remains tranquil since it's not directly connected to the open sea. If you're planning to swim, I suggest going during high tide, but it's still an excellent spot for a picnic at any time.

Little Kaiteriteri Beach
10 Lena Kovalenko.

We thoroughly enjoyed our swim from Kaiteriteri to Little Kaiteriteri, relishing the playful waves and venturing out to explore the nearby island. This beach is truly enchanting, particularly when illuminated by the moon's soft glow.

Kina Beach III
10 Nolan Grey

This charming, untouched beach can be found by following the gravel road at the end of Kina Beach Road. It leads to a medium-sized reserve with water access, perfect for water sports during high tide. It's a great spot for a BBQ too.

Stephens Bay Beach
10 Nico van der Meer

This beach is fantastic. It's incredibly clean, peaceful, and charming. It's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the sunset. With any luck, you might even catch a glimpse of a penguin! 🐧
