Pataua North is separated from Pataua South by a scenic footbridge arching over the estuary.

Castaway Beach in north Pataua is also named 'The Dumping Beach' because the waves put on an epic display for surfers.

Head to Jumping Beach to witness a strange phenomenon: at high tide a giant ledge of sand forms under the water on the estuary. You’ll need to jump in or you’ll go from knee deep to head depth in one alarming footstep!
