South Beach Whanganui
Recognised for its excellent fishing and surfing
Adjacent to the Whanganui Airport is South Beach. As soon as the tide goes out South Beach is a 20km stretch of sand, excellent for a days picnic, swimming, surfing or fishing. Up in the dunes are fantastic off-roading trails. Drive south and you can reach the mouth of the Whangehu River, or North will take you to the South Mole, another great fishing spot.
Once on the beach the opportunities for great family fun are extensive. The beach is not patrolled so remember to watch the tides and take care at all times when near and in the water.
