Ocean Beach
Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
Ocean Beach is a long golden sandy beach located in the Hastings District of the Hawke's Bay Region on New Zealand’s east coast, stretching between Cape Kidnappers and Waimarama Beach.
Known locally as Waipuka, it is a popular recreational spot mainly for locals, offering strong surf and regular rip currents, making it favored by surfers and swimmers alike.
The beach is backed by the Haupouri Flats, an area of farmland, and is accessed via a steep one-way road. It is known for its ever-changing river formations flowing across the sand, creating natural diversities like deltas, lakes, and lagoons. Historically and culturally significant, the beach lies on land mainly owned by the Ngāti Mihiora subtribe and has resisted large-scale development despite multiple proposals, reflecting the community's commitment to preserving its natural state.
