You are approaching Oreti Beach. Oreti Beach was a key location for the film 'The World's Fastest Indian', which tells the story of Southland's motorcycling hero Burt Munro. At around 26 kilometres in length, the beach provided Munro with a testing and racing site for his modified Indian motorcycle. In February 1957 Munro set a New Zealand Open Beach record of 131 miles per hour at Oreti Beach. In 1975 broke his own record with 136 miles per hour. The original bike can be viewed at the E. Hayes & Sons store in town.
