Lovely spot, short(ish) walk along the beach into Whangamata. Only four spaces and can confirm these were full by 3pm. Beautiful sunrise. Toilets weren't locked overnight, but according to Google maps they are supposed to shut at 8:30pm.

A terrible experience - we got a $400 FINE … parked outside the x2 signs . Ranger patrolling day and night . Ants also infested our Van plus noisy cars all night .,

Calm and quiet spot by the beach with clean toilets, four spots available. We had no problems.

Got a $400 FINE. Don’t park outside the x2 arrow signs . Only room for 4 vans . RANGER CHECKING 24X7

WARNING - to avoid $400 FINE only park between the x2 ARROW signs . Ranger is visiting and checking at all times of day and night

WARNING — Not a pleasant experience . Our van got infested with ants and we got a $400 FINE for parking outside the x2 arrow signs . Only room for 4 vans between the x2 arrows. The ranger guy is visiting 24 hours to issue FINES .

beautiful spot but the bathrooms closed early, not sure the time but they were closed when i went at 7:30pm. also some people pulled up in a car next to us and drank loudly all night, honked their horn, etc.

4 parking spaces reserved for self-contained vehicles only. Clean toilets. Beach shower at the level of the toilet building. Very quiet place. Superb beach with beautiful colors at sunset and sunrise.

Was quite noisy with local kids in their cars .. bit of a hangout for them at midnight ..ALSO 2 vans got a $400 FINE for parking outside the ARROW SIGNS .. ONLY 4 VANS ALLOWED

Great spot, I find it hilarious how people can leave a negative review for being fined for not parking in the designated area the rules are the rules that’s your fault for getting a fine how can you leave a bad review because of this you should learn how to park and learn the rules
