Pāpāmoa Beach is one of the Bay of Plenty’s most popular surf-casting locations. The beach runs for 16 kilometres with multiple access points - blue “beach access” posts mark the paths through the dunes. No licence is required for recreational saltwater fishing in New Zealand. Key species include snapper, kahawai and trevally, with catches varying by season and tide. Evening incoming tides are generally the most productive for surf casting.
