Puheke Beach (Puwheke)

Puheke Beach occupies a remote and beautiful stretch of coastline in Northland. Located near the Karikari Peninsula, it features soft white sand, rolling dunes, and clear blue water. 

The surrounding area includes Puheke Hill, which is worth climbing for the panoramic views of the coast. The hill is an important cultural site for Māori, adding a layer of history to the landscape.

Puwheke beach is not as well known as others in Northland, which makes it an ideal place for those looking for a quieter, more natural setting. However, its isolation means there are no facilities, so visitors will want to come prepared.

Puwheke Beach is a good example of Northland’s unspoiled beauty, with the golden sand meeting the clear waters of the Pacific Ocean.
