Middleton Bay was rough and ready this morning. Stopped and had a cuppa and walked over to the beautiful little waterfall on the left hand side when driving passed the Opunake Boat Club shed.
I just love places where you can park up, eat, have a view. Somedays you're the only one there,others carpark full. Cute very tiny run-off waterfall. Black sand. Rough. Not for swimming.
Lovely bay. Has a dog friendly area on part of the beach. Has public loo. Also has free motor home parking for up to 3 days. Handy enough to shopping center with cafes pubs etc.
Three freedom camping spots and a lovely quiet beach to walk on. A number of anglers and some boats launched. Clean toilet.
Awsome hidden Beach that is dog friendly.Take care not to park in the boat trailer parks when the sea is calm I saw some ones camper get pulled out of the way with a tractor.would of been a totally avoidable situation if the camper had parked in a more suitable location.
