The harbour was an important part of early maritime trading with regular sailings from Onehunga. With the advent of rail this dropped away and has left Kawhia a bit of a time capsule locked into the past by the landscape. There is a definite old world feel that makes it feel as though you have been teleported back to a childhood decade. A&nbsp;remnant of the maritime history are the unique racing whaleboats. &nbsp;Five&nbsp;were built in Auckland in 1880&#8217;s to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Waitangi. They were moved to Kawhia in 1910 and four&nbsp;still survive with three&nbsp;still racing along with modern replicas in the annual New Year&#8217;s Day regatta.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8043\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8043\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/KawhiaRowingClub-DSCF7813-web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8043\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/KawhiaRowingClub-DSCF7813-web.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/KawhiaRowingClub-DSCF7813-web.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/KawhiaRowingClub-DSCF7813-web.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/KawhiaRowingClub-DSCF7813-web.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8043\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kawhia Rowing Regatta Club.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A trip along Ocean Beach Road takes you through some scenic pine forest before stopping at the base of the dunes.
