For families, Matapouri Bay is an excellent choice. The calm, shallow waters of the bay are ideal for swimming and paddling with children. There are also plenty of rock pools to explore at low tide, and the nearby Mermaid Pools offer a unique natural swimming experience that older children will love. The general store is handy for essentials, and the relaxed pace of life makes it a stress-free holiday for everyone.

Couples seeking a romantic and secluded getaway will find Whale Bay, just a short drive or walk over the hill from Matapouri, particularly appealing. This smaller, more intimate beach is often less crowded and surrounded by native bush, offering a more private and peaceful setting.
