Spring into Adventure: A Fun-Filled Family Holiday at Fitzroy Beach Holiday Park
As the chill of winter fades and the days grow longer, spring is the perfect time to treat the family to an unforgettable getaway in New Plymouth. Tucked along the scenic Taranaki coastline, Fitzroy Beach Holiday Park offers the ultimate base for a springtime adventure packed with nature, fun and memory-making moments.
Why Spring is Ideal for a Family Getaway
Spring in Taranaki bursts with colour and energy. Blossoms bloom along the Coastal Walkway, Pukekura Park comes to life with birdsong and fresh green foliage, and mild temperatures make it comfortable to explore outdoors all day long. With fewer crowds than summer and plenty of fresh air and space, it’s an ideal time to escape the city and reconnect as a family.
Your Beachside Base
Fitzroy Beach Holiday Park places you just steps from the surf and sand. Whether you’re staying in a cabin, motorhome or tent, you’ll enjoy easy beach access, safe surroundings for kids to roam and friendly local vibes. The park is well-equipped with family-friendly amenities, including playgrounds, a camp kitchen and communal areas to share stories over dinner.
Outdoor Adventures for Everyone
Start your day with a family bike ride along the New Plymouth Coastal Walkway. It’s a scenic 13km stretch perfect for kids on scooters or bikes, with plenty of playgrounds, cafes and art installations to explore along the way.
Next, make your way to Pukekura Park, one of New Zealand’s most beautiful botanical gardens. The kids will love the duck ponds, hidden trails and playground, while parents can soak in the spring flowers and peaceful lakeside views.
For active families, climbing Paritutu Rock is a must-do. The short but exhilarating climb offers incredible views of the coast and Taranaki Maunga, plus bragging rights for everyone who reaches the top!
Hands-On Cultural Fun
At Puke Ariki, New Plymouth’s museum and library complex, you’ll find engaging exhibits perfect for curious young minds. Learn about local Māori heritage, volcanoes and Taranaki wildlife through interactive displays.
Surf, Sand and Springtime Splashing
Fitzroy Beach is known for its gentle surf and clean, safe swimming areas. Enrol the kids in a spring surf lesson or simply spend an afternoon building sandcastles, exploring tide pools and enjoying the sunshine.
Eat, Drink and Be Local
New Plymouth’s family-friendly food scene shines in spring. Grab fish and chips to enjoy at the beach, pick up fresh produce from the local Seaside Market or treat yourselves to a delicious brunch at one of the city’s many welcoming cafes.
