Orokawa Scenic Reserve

Located in the Bay of Plenty region

Orokawa Scenic Reserve has beautiful coastal views, good rock fishing and lovely picnic spots throughout.

Orokawa Scenic Reserve is  north of Waihi Beach, off State Highway 2 at the end of Waihi Beach Road.

Caution: The track entrance at Waihi Beach may be inaccessible at high tide.

Dogs, horses, vehicles (including bicycles and motorbikes), fires, removal of plants or animals, camping or hunting are not permitted.

Orokawa Scenic Reserve contains pohutukawa-fringed beaches and uncommon remnants of coastal forest.

There are many historic pa sites.

Mine tunnels along the coast recall largely unsuccessful attempts to extract gold.
