Westshore is a northern coastal suburb of the city of Napier in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.

The earthquake also transformed the previously dangerous and shingly seashore into a safe and sandy swimming beach.

In October, 1958 the new Surf Section of the Napier Swimming and Lifesaving Club commenced patrols at Westshore Beach which, with improved access, had become the preferred swimming beach for the Napier public.

[6] Westshore is located on the northern coast of Napier on the shores of the Hawke Bay.

The 1931 earthquake freed up land which was previously underwater as part of the Ahuriri lagoon, and transformed the once dangerous shingle shore into a safe and sandy beach.

Recreational activities popular at Westshore beach include swimming, picnicking and sunbathing.

With the land that was made available, housing in Westshore increased, and there are also many motels in the suburb.
