Port Pūponga

Tucked along the western edge of Golden Bay, Port Puponga is a place whose character is shaped by the winds, tides and broad sands of Farewell Spit. This narrow sand spit forms the bay’s northern limit and is internationally important for migratory shorebirds, giving the area a strong sense of seasonal movement. The settlement lies beside Puponga Farm Park, where walking tracks cross former farmland and coastal terrain. Port Puponga also recalls the region’s coal-mining past: a small harbour here once served local workings.
