Activities
Water Sports
The beaches on the west coast are safe, but care needs to be taken on the surf-pounded
eastern beaches. Medlands Beach , with its wide sweep of white sand, is one of the most
beautiful and accessible beaches on the island. Remote Whangapoua , in the northeast,
requires more effort to get to, while Kaitoke , Awana Bay and Harataonga on the east
coast are also worth a visit.
