About this place
Enjoy spectacular views of the harbour and coastline on this short easy walk that’s suitable for children.
The route
The track follows the top of the cliffs, then enters tall manuka and suddenly opens out at the headland and grassed lookout. The grassy terraces provide sheltered picnic sites and wonderful views up the harbour away from the prevailing westerly winds. There is access to the harbour via the Martins Bay track. The track is not suitable for wheelchairs but it’s possible for buggies and strollers to access the headland – however there’s no access for buggies to Martins Bay.
