Whangamatā's only beachside café

BLACKIES
by the beach

Sandy feet welcome. Atomic coffee, big breakfasts and real fruit ice cream — right behind the Surf Club in Williamson Park, 50 metres from the beach.

Dogs & kids welcome

Swim. Surf. Walk the dog. Then Blackies.

Visiting Whanga for the weekend? This is where the beach day starts — and usually where it ends up too.

50m

Steps from the surf

Tucked behind the Surf Life Saving Club — grab a coffee and watch the break from the picnic tables.

All outdoor seating under a big sun roof, water bowls out, and a whole park for the kids to run around.

Grab&go

Takeaway window

In a hurry to hit the water? Our takeaway window keeps the coffee and ice cream moving on busy summer days.
