Kawakawa Bay Store and Takeaways

Kawakawa Bay is an hour’s drive from the Big Smoke but its deserted tranquility makes it feel like another planet. This local store does a mean fish and chips; their snapper is fresh and the batter light, crisp and golden in all the right places. Chips have the correct balance of- let’s not sugar coat it- starch, crunch, fat and salt. Yum. Take yours down to the idyllic little beach and watch the seagulls swoop, the waves lap and the sea shimmer.
