If being by the water is a major draw, Medlands Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 2.5 mi (4.1 km) from central Tryphena. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Kaitoki Beach.
If you're planning a bit of sightseeing during your trip, head to Windy Canyon Lookout— just one of the landmarks located 1.7 mi (2.8 km) from central Great Barrier Island.
