Boyes Beach

Boyes Beach is one of the largest beaches on Lake Ōkareka and is particularly popular during the summer months for activities such as swimming, fishing and picnicking. Facilities include picnic area, barbecues, children's playground, toilets with drinkable water taps and designated overnight parking area for motor-homes and camper-vans. A walkway connects the Boyes Beach to the Lake Ōkareka Campsite which passes two local jumping rocks.
