Visit Golden Bay’s Top Beaches
Tata Beach and Pohara Beach
Tata Beach is a quiet, sandy spot perfect for a walk or a morning swim. It’s only minutes away from Drift Off Grid and ideal if you want a relaxed start to your day. Pohara Beach is a little livelier, offering more space for swimming, sunbathing, and spotting local wildlife. Both beaches are great options depending on the vibe you’re after.
Beach Activities and Access
Swimming, paddling, or a simple picnic are all easy at these beaches. Drift Off Grid provides an electric buggy to make reaching Tata Beach stress-free. You can spend more time enjoying the sand and less time worrying about transport or parking.
