Discover
Baylys Beach
Experience New Zealand’s beautiful wild west coast from the small seaside community of Baylys Beach. The gateway to Ripiro Beach, Baylys Beach is a village of colourful baches, seaside cottages and fresh breeze from the Tasman Sea. Only 10 minutes from Dargaville and 35 minutes from the famous Kai Iwi lakes, this sleepy holiday haven is the perfect spot to start your adventure. The drivable 100km beach offers endless occupation from surfing, motorbiking, boating, surf casting or simply watching the sun set into the sea with the waves crashing onto the shoreline.
Key highlights of the area:
Kai Iwi Lakes – a jewel of Northland, spectacular natural dune lakes fringed with white sand and shallow swimming areas.
Pouto Peninsula – a true west coast kiwiana experience of rugged cliffs, tall dunes, wetlands and pounding surf, home to the Pouto Lighthouse that guards the Kaipara Harbour entrance.
Ripiro Beach – a 100km drivable shoreline and entrance to Kaipara Harbour.
