A rugged coastal walking route with cliff-top views, sea stacks, tidal rock platforms and pockets of native bush — great for dramatic seascapes, long exposures and birdlife. Best at sunrise or sunset for golden light and stormy skies. Low tide exposes interesting foregrounds; bring windproof clothing. Trailhead near 52 Russell St with limited parking; sections are easy–moderate walking on gravel and boardwalks. Respect signage and Māori cultural sites.
