Ruakākā Overview

Bream Bay stretches in a wide arc, situated south of Whangārei and north of Mangawhai. Nestled at its northern tip, Ruakākā enjoys protection from the northeast swell. It serves as an excellent choice during northwest winds, offering up hollow peaks when a solid northeast swell rolls in. Scattered along the beach, you'll find notable spots like 'Racecourse,' 'Powerstations,' among others. The bay curves at its southern extremity towards Waipū, which becomes offshore with a southwest wind.
