Just beside the bridge where the Waikawa Stream goes out to sea, you’ll find the perfect family picnic spot. With picnic tables, a basketball hoop, a childrens playground and an outdoor shower for after your swim, Hank Edwards Reserve and Waikawa Beach Foreshore is the ideal place to enjoy a sunny day.
The river is the perfect place for you and the family to enjoy canoeing, kayaking and swimming. You can also access the beach by crossing the footbridge or at the end of Manga Pirau St. The attractive coastal village of Waikawa is situated nearby.
The reserve is named after the late Hank Edwards who was a member of the Waikawa Beach Residents Association.
Dogs must be on a leash in the reserve but they can run free on the beach. Horses are allowed on the beach only.
