Tokomaru Bay is a laid-back coastal village on SH35 with a wide beach and a slightly haunting history: a long wharf and the ruins of a freezing works dominate the bay. Wander the sand, take pictures and stay for the afternoon if the tide is right.

Good to know

  • The old wharf and works are decaying, stay behind any barriers
