We are close to a lovely recreation area that hosts an amazing pump park, skateboard park, children's play area, BBQ's, tennis courts and even an outdoor table tennis table and a flying fox to compliment the area.

If you're keen on fishing, the wharf next to the Manawatu Marine Boat Club along the river is a great spot to cast your line, along with fishing at the river mouth and fishing directly of the beach. There are several outlets that sell a variety of bait and fishing accessories located at Foxton Beach.

In the whitebait season the Manawatu River & Whitebait Creek are popular places to put on your waders and put your nets out.

There are several cafe's for those who enjoy a good coffee, great walks along the beach, estuary or forest.

More eating and coffee spots in Foxton township only 8 minutes drive away, along with some unique and kwerky shops and off course Foxton's own flour making De Mollen Windmill.
