The NZ Herald Best Beach Competition has announced 13 finalists in the quest to find New Zealand's best beach, as voted by readers.

Ohope Beach is included in the list of finalists (of course!) with the following write up of our favourite beach "If you take all the images of Kiwiana and put them into one place, it'd be Ōhope: the 11km stretch of white sand, a beach where kids can walk hundreds of metres into the Pacific at low tide, great surf, crimson pōhutukawa blooms, motels and campgrounds, ice-cream and fish'n chip shops, surfcasting. Heck, they even welcome dogs. What's not to like?".

Head over to the NZ Herald by following the link below and share your love of Ohope Beach!

The winner of the Best Beach 2021 competition will be announced on January 31.
