Oreti Beach, Sandy beach in Southland, New Zealand.

The twenty-six kilometer stretch of Oreti Beach extends along the Foveaux Strait coast between Riverton and the Oreti River estuary.

The Ngāi Tahu iwi established fishing grounds and gathering sites along Oreti Beach, developing methods to harvest marine resources throughout generations.

New Zealand motorcyclist Burt Munro selected Oreti Beach as his practice ground before setting speed records at Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.

Visitors access the beach through multiple entry points from Invercargill, located ten kilometers away, with facilities including parking areas and restrooms.

The beach offers clear views of Stewart Island across the Foveaux Strait during favorable weather conditions.
