Opoutere Road is the main access route, leading directly to the beach and harbour.

Family travellers will find Opoutere Beach an excellent choice. The calm harbour waters are superb for kayaking and paddleboarding, while the beach itself offers plenty of space for children to play. There are walking tracks nearby, including the popular walk to the Wharekawa Harbour entrance, where you can often spot native birds.
