Belt Road
Belt Road is a Taranaki reef break tucked just behind the New Plymouth harbor. It is a left-hand line over uneven reef and sand, so it feels more like a local reef check than a broad open beach break. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Belt Road in Taranaki.
