Waihi Beach is a popular spot with boutique shops and eateries, the beach is very safe for surfing, swimming, or fishing, if you feel like a walk then there are coastal trails to Orokawa Bay, Humunga Bay and Anzac Bay, along the way you will see waterfalls, headlands and historical sites, Waihi was famous for Gold Mining, so why not head to the Wahi Discovery Centre for some insight into the gold era, or have a nosy at the Waihi Arts Centre & Museum. If you want to keep the kids entertained why not try the Goldfields Railway & Hauraki trail take a train ride and explore the Karangahake Gorge. For those of you who enjoy the arts take a look at the Waikino Victoria Battery & Mosaic Garden, the Wahi Lavender farm is close by as well. If you enjoy a round of golf, then pack your clubs as Waihi has a beautifully maintained golf club. For the boaties, there are several ramps available, however the safest one to use is at the Bowentown Boating & Sport Fishing Club. The southern-most ramp is open to non-members, there is a charge to use the ramp please check current pricing. The 2 other ramps that are available are sandy and can be quite soft and so smaller vessels are best launched from here i.e jet skis.
