Weymouth Walkway Loop

The Weymouth Walkway south of Auckland, is a mainly flat (suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs), concrete paved path that follows the coastline of Manukau Harbour and the Puhinui Creek mangrove forest inlet.

At low tide you may be lucky to see the shore birds while you explore the exposed rock pools. The views at high tide on a fine day are spectacular – look west to see Manukau Heads, north to Matukutūruru (Wiri Mountain) and south to Kingseat.

Quick facts about this walk

The Hobbiton Movie Set Day Tour - From Auckland

There are reserves and playgrounds adjacent to the walkway that lend themselves to picnics and places to stop to breath in the beauty. The walking route is also great for cyclists, prams/buggies.

We looked for signs for dog walkers but saw nothing to indicate on or off leash areas. However, on the Auckland Council website it says: “Dogs must be kept under control on the walkway and away from local wildlife, and are not permitted on adjacent sports fields or near playgrounds.”

Hi, is this a loop walk or does it have a start and finish point? this calls it Weymouth Walkway Loop, but it appears to only be one length of 7.5kms.

Hi Gus
Thanks for the question about the Weymouth Walkway. Our walk is a loop walk that tracks along the coast one way and then returns via some of the streets and smaller tracks, thus creating a loop. The brochure for Weymouth contains this loop route.
Enjoy.

This project began in 2011. My friend Grace was the walk creator – with her knowledge of Auckland, she could “see” circular routes, and then it was up to me to map out, photograph, research and document the routes. At first, I relied upon my voice recorder and Google maps but then with the advancement of technology, the smart phone became a best friend and I was able to track our route. The best fun was when we were both pleasantly surprised by what there was to see. Beautiful wetlands, views and bush kept us inspired to explore more.
