Situated on the southeast coast of the North Island is the gently sloping beach at Riversdale, a four kilometers long stretch of beautiful white sand. It's a great place for surfing and swimming.
At low tide, a large area of rock is exposed at both ends of the bay, creating a natural playground for fishing and snorkeling. An exposed reef two kilometers out to sea is a well known diving site and a good place to catch groper.
Access: Riversdale Beach is situated 54 kilometres east of Masterton, New Zealand travelling on one of the Wairarapa's most picturesque country scenic drives, a tar sealed road, all the way to the Pacific coast line.
