Kaupokonui Beach is a classic, expansive surf beach on the wild South Taranaki coast, known for its raw beauty and family-friendly atmosphere. The beach is situated at the mouth of the Kaupokonui River, creating a dynamic environment where freshwater meets the Tasman Sea. This area is a popular destination for camping, picnicking, swimming, and surfing, with a strong focus on shore-based recreational fishing. The coastline here is exposed, offering anglers the chance to target species that frequent the surf zone and river mouth.
