Opunake Beach
Opunake Beach is a nice beach break on a sandy beach. A nice shaped wave, with both right and left handers. Sometimes a long right hander can be working right across the beach. The outer reefs on the rocky points can be surfed if the conditions are right. Good for beginners to experts. It can get busy in summer, so watch out for swimmers.
