90 Mile Beach – New Zealand Adventure Motorcycle Travel
by Lizzie Lau
Why we featured this post
Considering a North Island detour with older kids or teens? Lizzie Lau recounts an at-your-own-risk ride from Paihia to 90 Mile Beach via Ahipara, including what the sand is like when it changes from fast and firm to bumpy and soft. The story has real, specific moments, beached whales, a fishing tournament lining the shore, and a local who shows them the “road” that turns out to be Te Paki Stream, only passable at low tide. It continues to Cape Reinga, fried mussels, and a side trip to Spirits Bay with a short hike over dunes.
