Water

Chases Gorge

Chases Gorge is one access point to the beautiful Ripiro Beach.  A small community of permanent homes and some holiday homes, no matter where you choose to stay, you can hear the roar of the surf and there is easy access to the beach.  

This is a popular beach access and while driving on the beach is permitted, it is not advised unless you have a 4wd vehicle and a knowledge of the shifting sands.  Chases Gorge is the home of the Chases Camp Club.

Swim, fish, walk, play games, take photographs, climb the cliffs, gather tuatuas, or just watch the sunset - it's a great place to enjoy the rugged west coast.
