A stunning black sand surf beach on the Hawke's Bay coast, about 30 minutes from Hastings. Dogs are welcome here year-round (off-leash permitted outside daylight saving hours) and the wide, open shoreline gives them endless room to run. Powerful surf and dramatic coastal scenery make this a spectacular day out.

Absolutely stunning beach. Black sand, big waves and so much space. Our dog went absolutely wild with joy — ran the entire length of the beach and back. A must-visit.

One of Hawkes Bay's best beaches and brilliant for dogs. Wide open black sand, good surf and usually not too crowded. The drive through the hills is beautiful too.

Spectacular scenery and a great dog beach. Keep in mind there's a small store/café nearby for refreshments. Surf can be powerful so keep an eye on strong swimmers.
