Moureeses Bay, Whananaki

Moureeses Bay ~ A beautiful white sandy beach just north of Whananaki, Moureeses Bay is a quieter coastal favourite with rolling surf, scenic headlands and lots of space to relax or play by the sea. The gentle beach break attracts surfers of all levels when conditions are right, while swimmers, walkers and paddleboarders enjoy the wide shoreline and open ocean views. The area’s rocky outcrops and reefs also make it good for fishing and snorkeling when the water is calm, and the peaceful, natural setting feels like a well‑kept local secret. Because the bay faces the open Pacific, conditions can vary with swell and wind, so always check the surf and tides before you head out.
