Kaituna Peninsula, Mimiwhangata Coastal Park

Northland region.
Mimiwhangata Coastal Park is a very special place. It has a wonderfully varied land and seascape - low, steep ridges pointing in almost every direction, each cut sharply into sheer headlands, or fading into chains of islands, stacks and reefs.

Location

Mimiwhangata Coastal Park is 48 km from Whangarei and 52 km from Russell. It takes an hour to drive to Mimiwhangata from either place. This is how you get there: Take the old Whangarei-Russell coastal road, turn-off at Helena Bay and continue on Webb Road. After Teal Bay the road is unsealed, narrow and winding, and unsuitable for towing caravans. Mimiwhangata Coastal Road is after the Ngahau Bay turn-off.
