Te Angiangi Marine Reserve
Spanning between Aramona and Blackhead beaches, Te Angiangi Marine Reserve is a unique stretch of protected ocean for snorkeling and diving. At low tide, the retreating waters expose a rock platform where snorkelers can explore different rock pool plants and life.
Ongaonga Historic Village
Located just off State Highway 50, the charming Ongaonga Historic Village is like stepping back in time. The small, rural village is awash with beautiful historic buildings and its museum filled with a wonderful collection of machinery, tools, history and photos from the early settlers and founding residents of Ongaonga.
