Te Ngaere is a 700-metre long beach and holiday community on Taiaue Bay, Northland. It has a beautiful white to golden sand beach, perfect for swimming, which is easily accessed from Wainui Road as it passes through the town. At the east end is a reserve between the road and the beach. Houses overlook the beach to the west.
At the east end, you can walk across the rocky outcrop to a second, smaller beach bounded by Omorere Reef. Piapia Bay is another sandy beach northwest of the reef, accessible as the tide goes out.
A feature of Te Ngaere is the nearby islands that shelter the bay from the Pacific Ocean - Motuwhakaururakau and Dome Rock. These are good objectives if you have a kayak.
Te Ngaere is on Wainui Road, about 4 km northwest of Matauri Bay, or 19 km from State Highway 10 to the south.
