The beach is absolutely stunning with its fine sand. The water is warm and inviting, perfect for a swim. It gets quite busy during the Christmas holidays, but it doesn't take away from the overall beauty of the beach.

This stunning beach is a true gem, although it can get quite busy at times by New Zealand standards. The crystal-clear waters make for a safe and enjoyable swimming experience, and there are plenty of amenities nearby including a restaurant, pub, toilets, and a shop that sells delicious ice cream and groceries. Additionally, there are two bustling campgrounds and a spacious boat ramp that is frequently used. For those looking to explore the surrounding area, tour operators offer water taxi and canoe trips in the breathtaking Abel Tasman National Park. Overall, this beach is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a fun and relaxing day out in nature.

The beach is truly delightful, and I would recommend arriving early as we did at 10am, as it was already beginning to fill up with visitors.

Little Kaiteriteri beach is undoubtedly one of the most charming beaches in New Zealand, and it holds a special place in my heart. Alongside Tawharanui and Oakura, this beach is one of my top picks for a relaxing and rejuvenating seaside getaway. The best part about Little Kaiteriteri is that it's not as popular as some of the other beaches, which means you can avoid the hustle and bustle of large crowds. If you're looking for a serene and tranquil beach experience, Little Kaiteriteri should definitely be on your list of must-visit destinations.
