There's nothing better than being beside the sea. Round up the kids, throw together a picnic and get out into the fresh air at Mowhanau Beach.
If you're planning to stick around a while in Manawatū-Whanganui, Mowhanau Beach is a great place to start your sightseeing. This stretch of coastline is one of many attractions that'll keep you occupied here. Castlecliff Beach, and Bason Botanic Gardens are also waiting to be explored nearby.
