Oakura
Small beachside village in Taranaki, on New Zealand's western North Island, Ōakura is built around its beach — one of the first Blue Flag accredited beaches in Oceania, earning that status in 2007. The Oakura River meets the sea here, the Kaitake Range and Egmont National Park rise to the south, and the village supports a modest café and restaurant scene that punches above its size.
