Newdicks Beach, Sandy beach in Western Bay of Plenty District, New Zealand.
The two-kilometer stretch of Newdicks Beach presents light-colored quartz sand mixed with patches of black titanomagnetite from andesitic volcanoes.
Two ancient Māori fortification sites known as pa border the beach, marking the presence of indigenous settlements in this coastal region.
The beach maintains its connection to the original Newdicks family through the private access road, preserving local heritage and land management traditions.
Visitors must obtain permission and pay a fee to drive on the private gravel road, though walking access to the beach remains free.
New Zealand fur seals frequent this coastal area, using the sandy shores as a natural resting place throughout the year.
