Beschrijving
Hahei is an attractive beach fringed with pohutukawa trees and drifts of pink shells at the northern end. The offshore islands provide something of a breakwater, making this sheltered beach ideal for swimming, boating and fishing. The coastline to the north and the offshore islands form the boundaries of a marine reserve that attracts many seabirds. Among the birds you can observe in the area are Variable Oystercatcher, New Zealand Dotterel, Silver Gull, Kelp Gull, White-fronted Tern, Australasian Gannet, Little Pied Cormorant and Pied Cormorant.
