Titahi Bay
Titahi Bay is a popular beach on the Kapiti Coast near Porirua. It is a sandy beach break that offers fun waves for both mals and shortboards. When it's bigger, you can paddle out at the northern point of the beach, known as Fishmans and Slipperies, which offers hollow or wally right-handers. The southern point, known as Pete's Rock, offers a hollow, gnarly left-hander. Watch out for rocks at the points. The main beach is good for beginners. This is a popular beach, so know the rules and respect the locals. Watch out for swimmers.
