From the Te Kao Store, about 10 km farther north from here you turn east down Paua Road, then into Te Pua road. There is a plateau of rough grass above sheltered waters on three sides. A landmark bar of gleaming white (pure silica) sand protects this coast. Clear, deep water is around the perimeter, but you will
have to negotiate a bank to the water or try your luck at the boat ramp, unless
the tide is right. Campers must be totally independent. This appears to be a great fishing spot.
The campground is closed to the public over the winter months.
The campsite is only for the local community and extended family.
