- Waipātiki Beach is a small coastal village in the Hastings District and Hawke's Bay Region of New Zealand's North Island. It is situated in a little valley at the end of a road that branches off the main road from Napier to Gisborne (SH 2) and that finally, after 11 km, leads to a small sandy beach; first Tangoio Rd, then Waipātiki Road. Waipātiki Beach lies nearly exactly north of Napier, some 20 km, as the crow flies, and is a small beach side community with alternative lifestyle residents (43 households in 2005). There are also many holidaymakers over the summer period. Outside the village lies the commercially exploited Waipātiki forest, but close to the village are some important remnants of protected native bush. There is also a small campsite, the Waipātiki Beach Farm Park. The village's name comes from the Māori-language word Waipātiki, meaning “water of the flounder”. The area was once an estuarine valley, well populated in pre-European times because the estuary was a rich source of flounder Rhombosolea plebeia. The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake lifted the flats and a stream system formed. (en)
