Beach Info
Ahipara Beach is a safe swimming location and it gets a great deal of use for this purpose during the warmer months. The beach slopes gently into the ocean and waves break evenly all along the beach. Just to the south of the beach there is a good fishing and surfing spot. All users need to be careful of the northward longshore drift that is present during times of surf.
