Tokomaru Bay is a quiet coastal township with rocky headlands at each end of 8kms of golden beach. Great swimming, surfing & fishing. First street on your left will lead you to Stranded in Paradise Eco Lodge. On the main road on the left you will find the restored historic Te Poutapeta - The Post Office B&B. On the waterfront you will find Public Toilets & a Skate Park.
Turning left onto Beach Rd will take you along the picturesque beachfront to a warm welcome at Te Puka Tavern. Further on to Waima at the east end of the bay you will find the old wharf, for which fundraising efforts are being made to restore and the remains of a freezing works which closed down in 1952, relics of the era when transport on the coast was by sea. The New Zealand Shipping Co. had a depot here and the harbour operated until 1963.
Back on SH35, just after the bridge on the right you will find The Fish Shop, Tokomaru Bay Holiday Park and Cafe 35, on the left is The Blue Marlin Cabins. A left turn here will take you to the beachfront and a nice picnic spot. A bit further on the left you will find the well stocked Tokomaru Bay Four Square.
