About the walk
80 minutes return
Three features in particular attract people to Kauri Point:
- The magnificent specimens of pohutukawa
lining the shore
- A long, wooden jetty that extends 200 metres
out into the harbour (highly popular for fishing)
- Several pā fortification sites
After dropping down it links up with the northern
end of Chelmsford Street. Here you have the choice
of turning back to the car park via Chelmsford Street,
or continuing down and along near the shore to the end
of Ongare Point Road.
Please take care walking around the cliff edges
and please follow instruction signs.
