Beach road boat ramp

Right on the edge of the Tauranga Harbour, this little spot is one of those places locals keep quietly to themselves. It’s nothing flashy — just a boat ramp, some water, and a view that honestly makes you stop and breathe for a second. Great for letting the kids poke around near the water’s edge while you do absolutely nothing for a while. Katikati doesn’t have a heap of waterfront access, so this one’s worth knowing about.
