WAIHUA BEACH
The seabed in front of the car park is very rocky and swallows sinkers. A walk of 750m either way will take you clear of most of the foul ground and into good fishing.
Snapper of all sizes are regularly caught as well as kahawai, dogfish, trevally, gurnard and blue moki. This beach is not safe for swimming.
