Karamea Must-Do's
Karamea Beach

Calm and serene, this beach is almost always empty. Home to beautiful scenery and equally stunning birdlife.
The Karamea Centennial Museum
Opened in 1974 to celebrate Karamea’s settlement a century earlier, the museum displays many artefacts from the area’s rural heyday. Open by request only – contact Karamea Information Centre.
The Ōpararā Basin and Rainforest
Karamea is the nearest large settlement for exploring the Ōpararā Basin’s famed limestone arches and caves. Forty-five minutes north of town, explore pristine forest and the rich gold mining heritage of the Fenian area.
Historic Hotel
In the heart of town, Karamea Village Hotel is a restored landmark building with accommodation, pretty gardens, open fires and tons of character. It’s close to the beach, too.
Ōpararā Guided Tours
These cover the entire Karamea region including Ōpararā Basin and Honeycomb Caves. Walk 13km of underground passages and see why 'Honeycomb' is aptly named.
