Woolleys Bay

Woolleys Bay ~ A charming stretch of white sandy beach nestled between Whale Bay and Sandy Bay, Woolleys Bay offers easy access and a relaxed seaside vibe that’s popular with locals and visitors alike. The bay’s gentle waters are great for swimming and kayaking on calm days, while the headlands provide scenic backdrops and spots to explore rock edges. Grassy picnic areas under trees make it perfect for a laid‑back beach day, and the shoreline’s medium‑to‑coarse sand and dunes support a healthy coastal environment. Because it’s exposed to open ocean swells at times, undertows and stronger currents can develop in rough conditions, so take care if the surf picks up. Woolleys Bay is less crowded than some neighbouring beaches, making it a lovely place to soak up coastal scenery along this iconic Northland coastline.
