It stretches for 55 mi. (88 km) from Scott Point (northwest) to Ahipara Bay (southwest) and is bordered by scrubland and sand dunes. In 1643 the Dutch navigator Abel Tasman referred to the beach as "a desert coast." Now a resort area, it offers fishing (especially for toheroa, a shellfish delicacy) and automobile racing on the hard-packed strand. Huge waves are crashing into the shores of Ninety mile beach on this day. The large tidal flat area at the river inlets indicate that there is a fairly large tidal range here sometime during the year.
