Northland Police launched a homicide investigation after the person was found inside a vehicle on fire at Ripiro Beach just after 10.30am.
A scene examination at the beach and a nearby property in Te Kopuru is happening today.
Police are speaking with a person of interest, but haven't made an arrest.
They're not currently seeking anyone else.
They say it's unrelated to the death of Joanna Sione-Lauaki whose body was discovered on another Dargaville beach last month.
Police are also treating her death as a homicide.
