Westport North Beach NZMCA Park

Westport North Beach NZMCA Park is an members-only campground situated at Kawatiri Beach Reserve on North Beach, near the mouth of the Buller River on New Zealand's West Coast. Stays are permitted for up to 7 days in any 21-day period.

The surrounding area offers excellent surfing, fishing, and seabird watching, with the Orowaiti Lagoon nearby attracting godwits and other wading birds in summer.

The Kawatiri River Trail connects North Beach to the town of Westport via bridges and boardwalks over the lagoon, making the park a convenient base for exploring the region on foot or by mountain bike.
