Shipwreck Bay Tides
Where the Ahipara gumfields meet the Tasman Sea, Shipwreck Bay is a wild stretch of Ninety Mile Beach known for its powerful right-hand point break and towering sand dunes. The tide here sweeps in from the vast western horizon, creating one of New Zealand's most dramatic surf landscapes.
