Ohope Beach is located on the northeast coast of New Zealand. It is most notably known for its tremendous scenic views of surrounding points including active volcanoes. The sand of Ohope Beach is primarily fine to medium grain sand but also is composed of fine pumice and other volcanic rocks washed ashore from the nearby White Island Volcano. Ohope is not particularly known for its surf, but on occasion wave heights can exceed the usual 3 to 5 ft. In the current month, the tides range from 72m at high tide to 45m at low tide. Ohope beach is commonly considered one of the best beaches in New Zealand.
