Whiritoa is North of Waihi on SH25

Use the carpark on Fishermans Bend at the northern end of Whiritoa. Your GPS will help you find Fishermans Bend which is a street and not a knot!

From the carpark, walk down to the beach and cross the lagoon. This is usually easier (shallower) near the shore. There is a well marked track over the hill to Waimama Bay. There is a sign at the entry under a Pohutukawa tree. Takes about 30 minutes and provides views out over the ocean. At the beach, turn left and walk 50m. This is the location used by naturists.
