The western end of Ōhope Beach - commonly just called West End - is the most popular part of the beach.

One of New Zealand’s most scenic golf courses, uniquely situated between Pacific Ocean on one side and the beautiful, unspoilt Ohiwa Harbour. 

Shuttle service to the Pakihi Track and other stop off points, or mountain bike down after being dropped off by helicopter. Cycle hire, cruisers, tandems, road and mountain bikes.

Otuawhaki has great importance for Ngāti Awa as a fishing ground and place of learning.

Otarawairere is the hidden jewel of the Whakatāne-Ōhope area. This secluded beach is accessible only on foot or by kayak, but the trip is definitely worth the effort.
