Te Arai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Te Arai is a small community on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is in the Rodney District.
Tourism and farming are the predominant activities in the area. Famed for its beautiful beaches and spectacular scenery. Many species of bird life are also found locally, notably the critically endangered New Zealand Fairy Tern of which only 11 breeding pairs are left in the world.
Developers are currently trying to build a series of subdivisions on the beach, including 1,500 houses, 2 campgrounds, 12 shops, a golf course and a hotel.
