Hokitika Beach is a charming beach located within the town of Hokitika along New Zealand's western coast, serving as a popular spot for local residents and international tourists alike. Though families frequent the beach's beautiful coastline and gorgeous blue waters, visitors should note that no lifeguards are staffed on duty throughout the summer. Swimmers are advised to exercise caution at high tide, when drops in the ocean floor may be difficult to spot. The beach is considered to be a prime spot for fishing, canoeing, horseback riding, and dogwalking, with a motor camp located nearby within the town of Hokitika. Though the beach itself offers little in the way of visitor amenities, many services, shops, and restaurants are located nearby within the town center, catering to beach tourists throughout the season.
