A popular swimming beach over the summer months and frequented by experienced surfers year-round, who can make the most of the shifting sand banks.

Back Beach also has a huge sand dune that you can run down if you dare to scramble back up.

Overlooking Sugar Loaf Marine Park and Paritutu, Back Beach can be quite sheltered.

Enjoy a walk along the beach, taking in the changing cliffs and the stunning scenary.

Plenty of car parking is available at the bottom or the top.
