To protect nesting birds including the highly endangered Tara Iti (Fairy Tern) and other wildlife at Pākiri, pets are not allowed in the estuary, in the dunes, or on the beach.

Pākiri Beach is a fabulous swimming and surfing beach. However, in some conditions it can be dangerous. Check out Pākiri Beach tides and surf conditions before you enter the water.
Never swim or surf alone and swim between the flags when lifeguards are on duty.
Swimming in the adjacent Pakiri River and estuary is usually safe. However, it can be dangerous during a flood.
Always, check conditions before swimming and always supervise children.
Vehicles on the Beach
To protect our pristine environment and endangered seabirds, no motorcycles or vehicles of any kind are permitted on Pākiri beach except for Surf Lifesaving and Emergency vehicles.
Water
Because of our relatively remote rural, beachside location, we have our own water treatment station.
Our water systems are checked daily and always maintained to safe-water standards. After heavy rain or maintenance, our water may be discoloured but is still safe to drink.
We also operate our own wastewater treatment system which is also tested daily and meets all health and safety standards. Please refrain from putting anything other than toilet paper down the toilets.
We ask that you consider your water consumption when using our facilities and conserve water whenever you can.
