Pohara - all beaches

We parked here for breakfast. It's a beautiful spot with stunning views of the beach.

This beach is absolutely pristine with its crystal-clear, stunning water. It doesn't get any better than this!

Wow, I can't even begin to describe how amazing this beach is! We had the pleasure of staying here twice while we were hiking the Abel Tasman trail, and let me tell you, it was hands down the best spot we came across. The beach itself is absolutely stunning, with its golden sand and the most incredible rock formations and rock pools at both ends. It's truly a beautiful place to swim and even set up camp. Speaking of camping, the campsite is quite small, only accommodating six tents, but guess what? We had the entire place to ourselves for both nights! It was such a peaceful and serene experience. I highly recommend paying a visit to this beach, you won't regret it! And if you found this review helpful, please give it a like!

This beach is absolutely incredible, there's no other way to put it! You even have the amazing chance to organize a hiking excursion to or from this beach, and you can also explore certain areas of Abel Tasman National Park by taking a boat taxi.

This hut was the best I've ever stayed in. It had a big fire, around 20 bunks, and plenty of reading material about the history of the area and the building. I stayed in July, so it was chilly in the mornings. It takes about an hour for the fire to warm up the place. The stairs are narrow, so you need to be careful when going up and down them. There are three rooms in total, with two rooms upstairs and one downstairs. There is a large table with a few long benches. There is no lighting, so be sure to bring plenty of torches. Drinking water is available outside, and the toilets are located about 20 meters away through some bushes. There is also a small wood cutting area. There are lots of weka birds around, and they like to come into the hut and steal food, so remember to keep the doors closed.

This beach is stunning and conveniently situated just off the road. There's a memorial bench where you can sit and observe the shifting light and tides. The water is quite shallow, and during low tide, much of the seabed and rocks are exposed. It's a lovely spot for a morning or afternoon stroll.
