A reporter at the scene at 10.20am saw several police cars and St John Hato Hone vehicles.
Police were walking along the beach, several metres below the road, and have cordoned off the Huharua end of Plummers Point Rd.
The area inside the cordon includes a turning bay, carpark and access to Ongarahu Pa and a peninsula path.
