Ninety Mile Beach is one of the most famed beachfront stretches in the country of New Zealand, located on North Island between Reef Point and Scott Point. The beach, which actually only measures at a length of 55 miles long, is known internationally for its desertlike sand dunes, stunning sunsets, and excellent surfing and bodyboarding conditions. It has been featured in a number of television series and motion pictures, including a 2013 episode of the series Top Gear. Once a year, the beach hosts an annual five-day fishing competition, attracting competitors and spectators from around the world to catch snapper and native species such as the tuatua shellfish.
