Attractionsedit
Rarawa Beach is located near Ngataki, on the eastern Pacific coast.[11]
In December 2008, school students planted one hundred and twenty rare coastal Holloway's Crystalwort – Atriplex hollowayi plants, small native herbs that grow near high tide level on sandy beaches. In 2009, Ngataki School and the New Zealand Department of Conservation worked together to help restore the beach, a home to dotterels and oystercatchers, because the ecosystem was under threat as a result of natural and man-made causes.[12]
In September 2010, fourteen rescued pilot whales swam strongly out to sea at Rarawa Beach after being rescued from a mass whale stranding at Spirits Bay.[13] The transportation of the whales to Rarawa Beach was considered to be the largest whale transport ever attempted.[14]
In 2011, day four of the National Scholastic Surfing Championship was held at Rarawa Beach.[15]
