The Waikawa Bay Foreshore Reserve is a small popular recreation reserve located on the eastern side of Waikawa Bay between Port Underwood Road/Waikawa Road and the sea. The Reserve is used as a base for picnicking, swimming, launching small craft and trailered boats and providing access to moored boats within Waikawa Bay.
The Reserve is of great significance for Te Ātiawa o Te Waka-ā-Māui and is also very important to residents and visitors who enjoy its many attributes.
The Waikawa Bay Foreshore Reserve Management Plan provides direction for the future management and development of the Reserve.
