Omaha Beach

Omaha beach greets visitors with a long pristine stretch of sandy beach stretching for more than 4 kilometres, washed over by the gentle waves of clear turquoise waters. This spot is a paradise for both windsurfers and surfers, with endless views sprawling along the coastline for kilometres on end.

Conveniently situated at an hour’s drive to the north of Auckland it lies just on the border of ‘Matakana Wine Country’, offering the joys of wine tasting, within its 15 vineyards, and gourmet cuisine proposed in the various restaurants and cafés throughout the area.

The Omaha beach area offers something for everyone, with a variety of activities and attractions as well as natural sites, such as the nearby Goat Island Marine Reserve, ARC Tawharanui Regional Park and Pakiri beach.

The beach is undoubtedly a favourite location and also a safe place in which to enjoy all sorts of water activities due to its sheltered position. Here you will find diving facilities, water skiing, boat-launching facilities or even boogie-boarding. Of course you can simply lie back and enjoy the sun and the pristine views.

Inland you may follow the countless footpaths that meander through the lush vegetation, either on horseback or on foot. You may also try out the championship 18-hole golf course, bowling greens and other terrain activities.

For a more trendy ambience take a stroll in the characteristic Matakana, just a few kilometres from Omaha Beach, here you will find farmers’ markets, restaurants and galleries. Omaha Beach simply has it all.
