Whites Bay is a popular location for camping and swimming north east of Blenheim.
Providing a sheltered sandy beach, and surrounded by rugged mountainous terrain with regenerating native vegetation, White's Bay, provides the closest swimming beach to Blenheim.
The bay is administered by the Department of Conservation, and overnight camping is permitted.
Road access is from Rarangi, by taking the Port Underwood road. This road is steep and narrow, so caution is required, however the road is sealed until White's Bay.
Lifeguards patrol the beach during the summer, and beach volleyball and sandcastle competitions are among the other popular summer events that occur here.
In addition to being a popular beach, White's Bay is also significant historically, being the site of a cable station which was the South Island end of an inter island telegraph service.
