Waimamaku Coastal Track

The Waimamaku Coastal Track follows a rugged and dynamic coastline from Arai Te Uru Recreation Reserve south to the Waimamaku River. Historically significant, this route used to be the main route for traffic before roads were built inland for travellers heading up the coast from further south. The track branches off Signal Station Track . It heads down to the open coastline, then climbs up onto the high bluffs which extend southwards down the coastline. From there the track heads down to wide open sandy beaches and over small headlands, skirting along the clifftops. It eventually heads down onto Waimamaku Beach and the mouth of the Waimamaku River and back inland alongside the river to Waimamaku Beach Road. The views of the coastline and the Hokianga Harbour are exceptional, as are the many opportunities for fishing.
