The whale was at the north end of the beach, past Napier Airport, and was believed to have washed up overnight.
Department of Conservation biodiversity manager Bryan Welch said the whale appeared to have died at sea and washed up on shore.
It was common for dead whales to wash up at this time of year, but more often further north around Mahia and Wairoa.
DOC staff would take measurements and pictures of the whale before organising to remove and bury it.
“We don’t often get to see these animals up close so we get as much information as we can when they’re on the beach.”
