"Koutu Beach (and Boulders)" Omapere Things to Do Tip by vtveen

On the way to our accommodation in Omapere we were looking for the Koutu Boulders along the waterfront of Hokianga Harbour.
We did find the Koutu Loop Road (about 5 km's south of Opononi on Highway 12), but did not succeed in finding these huge rock balls, being one of the secrets of Hokianga. But we discovered Koutu Beach, a rocky beach with a splendid view on the Sand Dunes north of the Hokianga Harbour.
During our visit (around Christmas time) there were some huge flowering pohutukawa's on the beach.

We did take Waione Road, a gravel side-road of Koutu Loop and at the end parked our car. There is the access to the beach. If you are interested (also) in the boulders perhaps 'get the right info from the Visitor Information Centre in Omapere.
