ohope beach is located opposite the ohope beach carvan/campoing site, wich gets very popular in summer, but the beach is deserted so u will basically have a really good section by ur self, best in mornings around 6.30 am, there are pathways leading to the beach all the way down. but its basically shark infested waters so keep an eye out.
