It is best known as the gateway to New Chums Beach (Wainuiototo Bay), a kilometre of undeveloped white sand reachable only by boat or a bush walk over the headland, once named one of the world's top deserted beaches by The Observer. Local Māori occupation dates back centuries, and European settlers worked the kauri and gold of the surrounding hills from the 1860s.
