Titahi Bay
Edit SpotAbout
The beach is also a popular recreation beach, swimming, walking etc etc.
Atmosphere:
Great spot for all levels of surfing experience, the best waves are found at the Southern end of the bay aswell as in the centre in front of the surf club. Nothing wrong with the locals, a quick "gidday" would go a long way.
Additional Info:
There are several carparks along the bay, best to go to the southern most carpark. This is the end where the best waves are found but the centre is not too bad either in the right conditions.
