Mangawhai Heads Beach — Attraction in North Island

Visiting Mangawhai Heads Beach was a truly memorable experience. The stunning coastal views and white sands create a perfect setting for relaxation and exploration. The water was clear and refreshing, making it ideal for swimming.

One of the highlights was hiking the Mangawhai Cliffs Walkway. The trail offers spectacular views of the coastline, especially during low tide. It’s definitely worth the effort if you enjoy scenic walks and breathtaking landscapes.

The beach was clean and well-maintained, with a peaceful atmosphere. I appreciated the sense of tranquility despite a fair number of visitors. I recommend bringing snacks and water, as facilities nearby are limited.

Overall, Mangawhai Heads Beach is a beautiful destination for nature lovers, families, and anyone looking to experience the charm of New...

Absolutely beautiful beach that we enjoyed every day during our stay in the Manghawai area! It’s wide and sandy, and great for walking, relaxing, sunning, surfing, or swimming. Also seems to be popular with local fishermen. There is a large parking area at the beach with benches, restrooms, changing rooms and showers.

There are dunes behind the beach, and further down the beach there is a beautiful Cliffs Walkway with trails to walk on for amazing panoramic views. On the far north end of the beach, you will find the Natural Arch.

We particularly enjoyed walking down the beach on multiple occasions to the access trail for the Manghawai Heads Cliffs walkway, which is directly accessible from the beach. Amazing scenery and a place that we will revisit again when we return to...
