Ohope Beach lies on the Bay of Plenty, a long crescent shaped bay four hours east of Auckland. It recently was rated as the top beach in New Zealand. The beach here runs for miles, offering great waves for surfing and boogie boarding. Excellent fishing is found both in the ocean and Ohope Harbor, or Ohiwa as it is also called. Morning and evening light is never the same, never boring, sometimes subtle, sometimes shocking, but always alluring and enduring.
