Karikari Peninsula

Tokerau Beach, on the Karikari Peninsula in New Zealand's Northland, stretches over 18 km of fine white sand. It is a popular spot for its easy take-off and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.

To the north of the beach, there are small waves ideal for wave sessions, while to the south, the waves grow larger for more engaged riding. Locals also appreciate the calm atmosphere and the possibility of camping in a van right next to it.

Accessible via the Karikari Peninsula, it is an authentic place where wind and waves combine for varied sessions all year round.
