Coastal reserve with beach, dunes, wetland and estuary views—ideal for sunrise/sunset seascapes, reflections, birdlife and Kāpiti Island silhouettes. Long flat horizons and low dunes provide clean compositions. Easy to reach by car from Waikanae; on-site parking and short walks to viewpoints. Best at golden hour or low tide; expect coastal winds and occasional seabirds.
