Welcome to Foxton Beach

Foxton Beach is a popular holiday spot for vacationers. Perfectly situated by a picturesque beach, enjoy fishing, swimming, surfing, kite surfing, stand up paddle boarding, four-wheel driving tracks and great hiking tracks along the coast and in the nearby Tararua Ranges.

The beach is wide and sandy, allowing ample space for all your favourite beach activities including surfing, fishing, land yachts and four-wheel motor bikes. The beach gradually drops off into deep water so there's plenty of safe swimming and paddling space for youngsters and during summer months the beach is manned by the local surf club patrol. Foxton Beach is also a great fishing spot where you can catch Groper, Kahawai, Snapper, Flounder, Gurnard and Sole.

There is excellent bird-watching at Manawatu river estuary, where up to 38 species of visiting migratory birds rest, including grey teals, Royal spoonbills, petrels, shearwaters, sandpipers, wrybills, terns and godwits. Enjoy a viewing platform overlooking the estuary, located at the end of Dawick Street, Foxton Beach.

Foxton Beach has endless outdoor nature experiences including cycleways, walkways, tramping tracks in the Tararua Forest Park and a chance to catch a glimpse of the rare takahe and tuatara.
