OK, so they exaggerated. Ninety Mile Beach is actually 55 miles, but it is a legitimate highway. Most rental companies won’t permit beach driving but 4WD tours are numerous and you can catch a very cool coach tour from Kaitāia.
SAND SURFING
When it comes to sand dunes, the drifts at Te Paki are whoppers. Standing 150m high at the northern end of Ninety Mile Beach, there are rentable boogie boards on site.
THE SNAPPER BONANZA SURFCASTING COMPETITION
It’s no secret the Far North is home to monster snapper. Taking place every March, this fishing competition runs for five days on Ninety Mile Beach. Prizes for the heaviest snapper reach $30,000 so get your rod out!
