Himatangi Beach
- Location
- Situated on the west coast of North Island New Zealand, this beach services Palmerston North, Feilding and the entire Manawatu. Himatangi Beach is the centre of a 400 km sandy beach stretching from Paekakariki in the south to New Plymouth in the north. Himatangi Beach is a small coastal community in the centre of the largest sand dune geographical feature in New Zealand.
- Description
Himatangi Beach has something for everyone! It offers a long sandy beach with the largest sand dunes in New Zealand and the most amazing sunsets. There’s plenty of room for families to have fun with fishing, volley ball or a quiet stroll on the beach. Himatangi Beach has its own icon – a huge buoy. It originates from Australia, was found washed up some years back and placed in the village. The local Arts Collective group have tiled it depicting beach scenes.
The beach walk heads north and south. Watch for 4WD vehicles when walking.
