Langs Beach
A golden bay south of Waipu, framed by pōhutukawa trees and often rated one of the most beautiful beaches in Northland.
Langs Beach lies on the coastal road about 8 km south of the town of Waipu. Golden sand stretches between two rocky headlands, the water is clear, and pōhutukawa trees and holiday homes line the back of the beach. The waves are gentle, suitable for swimming and snorkeling, and the rocky area at the north end of the beach reveals tide pools at low tide. The town of Waipu was founded by Scottish settlers, and it holds Scottish Highland Games every 1 January. The Waipu Museum explains the history of the migrants. The beach is about 45 km from Whangārei and can be combined with the Waipu Caves on the same day.
