Just 5 mins over the hill in the Tutukaka Harbour is the marina which serves as the business and social hub for the area. There are a number of restaurants and bars operating here including the Marina Pizzeria which fills its pizzas to overflowing and has lamb shanks that simply melt in your mouth. Also of interest could be the Soul Day Spa at the Oceans Resort especially for those mums wanting a little time out from the kids!
For the kids fishing from the jetty, spotting sting rays combing the marina banks and watching the fish being weighed-in on competition days are always highlights especially when followed up with delicious pizza.
