Mārahau Beach

Marahau

Sandy Bay-Marahau Road, Marahau 7197

Whilst nothing quite compares to the gorgeous golden sands and tranquil lagoon of Kaiteriteri Beach, just a few hundred yards away is a serene, secluded beach that many people don’t even realise is there.

Tuck into fresh, local seafood at Hooked on Mārahau, a relaxed beachfront eatery with unbeatable views of the Abel Tasman coastline.

The blue bridge at the entrance to Kaiteriteri is the starting point for the 5-minute walk over to Little Kaiteriteri, where you’ll find an elevated viewing platform offering stunning views over the Kaiteriteri lagoon and beyond. A winding wooden staircase on the other side of the hill takes you down to an uncrowded beach, lapped by a gentle tide.
