Orewa Beach and Waiwera

The township of Orewa is located just behind the 3km. long white sands of Orewa Beach. It is a laid-back resort destination where you can often watch windsurfers and kite surfers playing the waves. The township has a variety of cafés and restaurants making it a popular beach holiday spot.  Just over the hill is Waiwera, an area best known for its geothermal hot pools.
