Bell block beach is in a really nice spot, easy parking along the beach front and nice walks along the beach as well

I love coming back to this beach when I am in Ngamotu. Many fond and happy memories spent at this beach and exploring the sand dunes. Pretty quiet, so there are ample parks and the toilets are very clean and tidy.

It's a peaceful relaxing place just to sit and watch the sun set. Had a yummy dinner.

Great walk along the coast towards NP city and all along the coastal walkway back to our starting point.

Still a great place to chill. Very peaceful.and reflective.

Great place for a picnic or to just hang out and enjoy the beautiful view.
Plenty of car parks.
Public toilets at the end of the car park. From the look of them on the outside they could do with a complete renovation.
Nice looking beach with rocky bolders leading down to the beach.
Beautiful location to catch the afternoon sun.
Or hang out under one of the many trees in the shade.
Picnic tables are located next to the car park.
And rubbish bins close by.

Stunning view. Heaps of stones. Heard there's good diving for crays somewhere just off the beach where a shipwreck.

A nice view and good place to park up for lunch, only good to walk on if tide is way out as very rocky. Nice quiet spot. Toilets always well kept.

The Taranaki coastline walk, very beautiful, bells blocks has alot of rivers stones, that some have built towers on top of it other. Lovely sea views.

Crazy little surf spot for those who like to surf. It is sheltered from large Sw swells so when everywhere is howling onshore it is doing the opposite

So long as you don't mind the challenge of walking over the rocks, it's a lovely place to visit.

I gave it 3 stars because u can't get to the sand without climbing down rocks and not suitable for kids but the view is amazing

A beautiful beach but rather difficult to access due to the wide stretch of large stones. Could do with an access point from top to sand.

An exposed, raw, west coast NZ beach. Where waves kiss a shoreline of black sands and boulders. Great for walking dogs and writing. Possibly not recommend for family swimming.

Lackluster in comparison to alot of the alternative spots to visit throughout taranaji during a short visit

Swag beach! Theres a nice river to play with the dogs in thats easily accessible down a rock path.from there it can be a bit treacherous bc its basically just massive hills of rocks that love falling down dramatically as u try climb them.when tide is high theres only the rock hill on the beach which is still nice, but when its low tide and theres sand its really nice to walk on if u can successfully get over the massive rock pile.sometimes u cant swim in the water which is sad bc its really pretty but they have a sign up about the water quality at any given time so u know whats up.beautiful views up the coast.overall a banger

Oh my, just a peaceful place to stop and take a breath. Facing the ocean crashing onto the rocks below, just being there makes you feel better
