Sandy Bay

Reviewed By Mum-of-a-surfer - New Zealand, null

This is a great surfer beach for beginners and experienced alike. We always have an awesome time here. Can get busy when the surfs up on a nice day but plenty of parking and toilets make it a great beach.

Reviewed By alexandjanebowers - Tutukaka, New Zealand

Best fish'n'chips on the coast - crispy, no grease, lightly cooked. You pay more than at a straight chip shop obviously, but I swear the fish'n'chips here are better than in most restaurants I've been to. Superb spot outside on the marina when the suns out (it always shines in Tutukaka!) so you can have a beer, great fish'n'chips and watch the stingrays swim by. It's a regular spot for us. If you're local, I'd say join the club - not expensive for a year's social membership and then you also get the cheapest pub on the coast - membership pays for itself. We're not even into fishing yet we love the fishing club. Good place for locals and visitors alike.
