Omana Beach Picnic Area is a tourist attraction on Omana Beach Road, Maraetai, on the Pohutukawa Coast. It has a Google rating of 4.7 from 17 reviews. It is part of Omana Regional Park, a 40-hectare farm park with a sheltered swimming beach on the Hauraki Gulf, walks and picnic areas.
A regional park with a sheltered beach suits families who want a day out, with room for a picnic, a swim and a walk. Sheltered bays on the Hauraki Gulf are usually calmer than open coasts, which helps younger swimmers, though tides and wind can still change conditions quickly. Picnic areas in parks like this are busiest on warm weekends, so arriving early leaves more choice of spots. Many regulars bring their own shade and water, since shelter from the sun is not always easy to find on open grass.
For a family picnic and a swim on the Pohutukawa Coast, this part of Omana Regional Park near Maraetai makes a good day out.
