The Dales Reserve
Small coastal reserve with mixed native forest, walking tracks and lookout points over Porirua Harbour; great for intimate landscape, understory and waterscape shots. Best at golden hour and after light rain for saturated greens and mist. Easy access from Fiordland Place with roadside parking; no entry fee. Trails are short but can be muddy—good footwear. Respect local whenua and keep to paths.
