The Area

Just across the walkway!

Fitzroy Beach is great for swimming (in the summer), surfing (all year round), dog walking, and family fun. Fitzroy Surf Lifesaving Club patrols the beach during weekends in the summer months and all week during the six-week school holiday period. 

Runs along the front of the park!

The award-winning Coastal Walkway is a seaside path that stretches from Port Taranaki (6 km away) across the front of Fitzroy Beach Holiday Park and through to Taranaki Cycle Park in Bell Block (5 km away). The walkway is ideal for walking, running, cycling, scooting, or skating. Road user rules apply so cyclists must wear helmets. Dogs are allowed on the walkway but must be on a leash.

Devon Street.

Our local shopping centre includes a post shop, a dairy, cafés, hot bread shops, a great bakery, a liquor store, takeaway shops, two pubs, second hand shops, design and gift shops, and a selection of other shops. 

Clemow Rd, or on the Coastal Walkway.

Stop in and visit Lake Rotomanu as you travel on the Coastal Walkway towards Bell Block. You can take a short walk around the lake or stop for a picnic. Right by the lake you’ll find Te Rewa Rewa Bridge, which spans the Waiwhakaiho River, linking Bell Block with the city. The bridge’s design reflects the history and mythology of the area. On a clear day, you’ll be rewarded with great views of the iconic bridge framing Mt Taranaki.
