About Ripiro Beach

Ripiro Beach is a sandy beach on the coast of New Zealand in the Northland region. It is 3,497 meters long and located 12 kilometers from Dargaville Aerodrome. Baylys Beach is nearby, 9,260 meters away.

From Wikipedia

Ripirō Beach is a sandy stretch on the west coast of Northland, New Zealand, extending from the Maunganui Bluff in the north down the Pouto Peninsula to the Kaipara Harbour mouth in the south.
At 66 miles (107 km) long it is the longest driveable beach in New Zealand, longer than the more famous but erroneously named Ninety Mile Beach further north. It is straight, and backed by high sand dunes for most of this length. The beach incorporates the coastal settlements of Baylys Beach, Glinks Gully and Omamari.
