Port Waikato there are plenty of things to do. Iron sands, pounding surf and summer days. Port Waikato is a seaside town from the establishment of a store in 1893 today the summer destination has a cafe, volunteer fire station, surf lifesaving club, yachting and fishing clubs. The holiday camp is a popular spot for Aucklanders looking for a summer beach break. Fishing, surf cast from the beach for kahawai, or run a long line from the dunes at the river mouth for trevally. Flounder and mullet are also plentiful using drag nets. The small settlement has the magical Cobourne Garden Reserve overlooking the river to find peace and quiet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":24686,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,67,18],"tags":[],"filter_destinations":[176,86,104,377],"filter_categories":[183,254,217,53],"filter_topic":[168],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhat's so great about Port Waikato, what to do<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Port Waikato things to do.
