West End, Ōhope Beach
The western end of Ōhope Beach - commonly just called West End - is the most popular part of the beach. It's great for surfing, kayaking, or just relaxing and taking in the scenery.
Most of Ōhope's shops and restaurants are within a few minutes' walk of West End, and the secluded Otarawairere Beach is only a 15-minute walk or 10-minute kayak trip away.
The sand slopes into the sea very gradually at all parts of the beach, and this is especially true of West End. During low tide, you can walk hundreds of metres off shore before you'll be up to your waist in the surf. This makes the area great for swimming, especially for kids.
Like all parts of Ōhope Beach, West End is dog-friendly. You can let your furry friends off the lead and take them for a run or a swim - just make sure to keep them under control and clean up after them if they make a mess.
