Description
(North to South) |
From the Waitangi Bridge, follow the coastal Marsden Rd via beach or footpath south through Pahia township.
At the southern end of Pahia Beach (i.e. junction of Marsden & Seaview Rds by toilets/carpark), you have 2 options:
1. When the tide is out, follow the coastline from Pahia beach around to Haumai Bay.
2. If the tide is in, take the footpath south on Seaview Rd to Haumi Bay.
From the southern end of Haumai Bay, follow the signed track beside/under the bridge and around the coast to the east until you reach Opua. Track provides wonderful views of the Veronica Channel.
