Awaroa Beach is a small beach opened to the public by crowdfunding efforts in 2016, when local residents joined together to make the spot publically accessible and prevent its sale to developers. The beach is located within the grounds of Abel Tasman National Park and is typically accessed on foot or via boat ride. The beach's waters remain brilliant blue and unpolluted today, attracting legions of beachgoers looking to escape tourist crowds. Though the beach is renowned as a secluded and quiet natural getaway, visitors should note that no amenities have been developed on the site as of yet, including concession stands or campgrounds.
