Mapua Leisure Park is on the seaward side of Mapua, about 20 minutes drive north-west of Richmond. Access is via Toru Street causeway and either through the campground for patrons or around the foreshore. The main recreational use is swimming. The beach is usable at any time of the tide. Strong currents exist in this area so caution is advised from swimming too far from the shore (beyond the swimming platform that is usually present in the peak season). During the peak Christmas-February period the beach has 200-400 visitors a day.
