New Zealand’s most loved beach

Known as the seaside playground of the Eastern Bay of Plenty, it's not surprising that Ōhope Beach has been voted as New Zealand's best beach by both the AA Traveller and Green Party poll.

Located within the Whakatane district, the “Sunshine Capital of New Zealand”, we’ve been a quintessential Kiwi holiday destination for generations. With 11km of golden sand, small rolling waves and safe swimming, what's not to love!

Come and find out what the fuss is about at Ōhope Beach TOP 10.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Ōhope Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park, and it exceeded all our expectations. Our unit was immaculate, well-equipped, and offered breathtaking ocean views that made our mornings truly special...

The amenities are new and kept spotless by a busy staff. Very friendly place, has a dog friendly area for caravanners, plenty of shade trees, very helpful staff and right beside a flat beach. A very safe camp. My dogs and I had a fabulous time. It wasn't long enough so we are going back soon.

Great place to bring the kids. Lots of things to do in the park: mini golf, pool, hot pool, trike hire, games room etc. not to forget a fabulous beach that has surf patrols over the summer season. For the adults a pop up cafe for coffee fix, pizza oven & much more. Had a wonderful time & the kids can run free in a family safe environment.
