Donut Island
Donut Island is the offshore Whangamata island surf objective: a remote, sacred wildlife-sanctuary setting with a narrow archway into the lagoon and a rare, powerful reef line nearby. The surf identity is inseparable from the kayak-or-SUP approach, the rocks, and the fact that the island is a local secret rather than a casual beach session.
