A stunning beach awaits your arrival at Orokawa Bay. Fringed with pōhutukawa trees and clear blue waves rolling ashore. The beach is not considered safe for swimming due to the steep grade of the seafloor and the potential for rips, but offers a great spot for a picnic or sunbathing
Nudity is a fairly common occurrence. with the beach measuring approximately 600-700 meters long, it is just big enough for naturists and textiles to comfortably spread out if there aren't too many people.
Orokawa Bay is part of a 145-hectare scenic reserve and there are other walking tracks here which you can choose to explore.

- Directions At the very northern end of Waihī Beach (just past the surf lifesaving club), you’ll find the entrance to this track. Access isn’t always possible during high tide or if there’s a very strong swell, so pick the right time to go.
It’ll take you around 45-minutes to walk through the lush, dense bush and descend down into Orokawa Bay. This is an easy to moderate walk but it is hilly so wear sturdy walking shoes.
