Wallace Beach is a remote and ecologically significant stretch of coastline located in the Otago region of New Zealand's South Island. It marks the southern boundary of the Otago Regional Council's coastal marine area, which extends 480 kilometers north to the Waitaki River. The beach is part of a coastal environment highly valued by mana whenua, with its waters and processes integral to traditional ways of life. This is a wild, exposed surf beach where anglers can expect to encounter a rich marine ecosystem alongside protected wildlife.
