On the way here
Peach Cove Track · 3 hr return
The track runs up one side of Bream Head Ridge and drops down the other side into Peach Cove, a pretty little sandy beach. You'll pass through attractive coastal broadleaf forest, and you can stay the night at the Peach Cove hut.
Te Whara Track · 5-6 hr one way
After the Bream Head summit, the track follows the ridge, passing the turnoff to Peach Cove Hut. The track leads along the ridge to the summit of Mt Lion. It then descends steeply and meets the loop track to Smugglers Bay. The track ends at the Urquharts Bay car park. This final section is grazed, livestock may be present and farm vehicles may operate in this area.
There are toilets at Urquharts Bay car park, Ocean Beach car park and Peach Cove Hut, but no toilets on the track in between.
