Paihia beach

On warm days, Paihia Beach is the perfect place to swim, float, and cool off in the clear waters of the bay. Wander along the shoreline, lay out a towel on the sand, or swim straight from the beach as the sun sparkles across the water. For a touch of local fun, make your way to the little island jetty, where jumping in has become a simple, joy-filled ritual, a moment of laughter, salt water, and summer freedom. It’s an easy, unhurried way to experience the playful side of the Bay of Islands, just a short drive from the calm of the treehouse.
