Boyes Beach & Park
Lakes & Rivers / East
Boyes Beach is one of the largest beaches on Lake Ōkāreka and a great attraction during the warmer months, and popular for swimming, fishing and picnicking.
Facilities include barbecues, picnic area, children's playground, drinking water, toilets, showers, dishwashing facilities and designated overnight parking area for motorhomes and campervans. A mobile phone charging unit is also provided.

Remember to take care of our beautiful environment, and to dispose of all rubbish responsibly.
