Paekākāriki Beach

Paekākāriki Beach is all about easy coastal vibes. Whether you’re swimming, surfing, bodyboarding, or trying your luck with a fishing line, it’s a spot that keeps it relaxed. 

For safe swimming, head to the north end of The Parade, where the lifeguards have your back during summer.

Right nearby, you’ve got the gateway to Queen Elizabeth Park and the Paekākāriki Holiday Park—perfect for a camping escape.

Once you’ve had your fill of waves, wander into the vibrant seaside village to recharge. Think Beach Road Deli, Olde Beach Bakery, or the Perching Parrot—local favourites with all the flavour you need.
