From the car park, we followed the gravel road into the park. We passed a small lake then walked through an area where they were trying to breed some freshwater crayfish.
From the lake, you can follow the track or make your way around the park. We followed the markers to the lookout and a great view of the inner Manukau harbour. It can get a bit windy at the lookout so take a warm coat.
We then followed the markers down through the coastal scrub the out onto the beach. Again you don’t have to follow the markers you can make your way along the coast or walk inland.
If you don’t mind getting your feet wet, just walk along the beach. As you get closer to the car, you will come across the clubhouses for the scouts. Only 700 metres to go to the car park.
