Situated right on the coast overlooking a magnificent swimming beach, Opunake is the central service area for the surrounding farming community and the central town in Coastal Taranaki.

As well as having one of the richest dairying pasture in New Zealand, the discovery of oil and gas in Taranaki has further added to the prosperity of the coast. The Maui Production Station at Oaonui, its offshore platform and the Ammonia/Urea Plant at Kapuni both bring business to the area.

Mt Egmont National Park draws tourists from all over New Zealand and further afield. With its numerous mountain walks and well equipped huts, Mt Taranaki is a year round attraction to the tramper as well as a popular ski field.

For the sports enthusiast, the coast offers great surf breaks, deep sea fishing, boating, windsurfing - in fact virtually any sport. Opunake itself, because of its relaxed lifestyle, has attracted a large number of retired people as well as holiday makers.

It is a friendly community with numerous facilities and activities. These include a community owned picture theatre, indoor heated swimming pool and an active theatre group which all help contribute to a strong community spirit.
