Himatangi Beach Community Committee

The oldest known inhabitants of the Himatangi area are the Rangitāne people, believed to have settled in the Manawatū region around 500 years ago. By the early 1900’s, the name Himatangi was applied to all land between Manawatū River and State Highway 1, plus the junction off SH1 and the road to Palmerston North known as Himatangi corner. At 20 kilometres wide, the Himatangi sand dunes make up New Zealand’s largest sand country area.

Himatangi Beach Community’s vision is to deliver a safe, well-kept, dynamic, coastal village destination which embraces the culture and values of the community.
