19. Queen Elizabeth Park - Coastal Track

January 19


We started at the Paekakariki entrance to the park. The road has a loop and we parked down the bottom, in the first car park area.

As soon as you reach the coastal pathway, the views of the coastline are amazing. The path runs along the hills next to the beach. You dip down away from the beach a few times.

At the halfway point you reach Whareroa Beach (MacKays Crossing). It was a little confusing here as the paths were not marked clearly. We turned to the left and headed down to the beach and found the track there.

The rest of the path up to Raumati South was pretty much the same. Beautiful coastal views on a fairly easy path with just a few steep parts.

The brochure we had recommended allowing for a two hour walk. We took less than an hour at a moderate pace.

About 5 500 steps
