Plan & prepare
Getting there
Lighthouse and path at Cape Foulwind,
West Coast
Cape Foulwind and Tauranga Bay are on the coastline about 16 km south-west of Westport. To get to Tauranga Bay follow Cape Foulwind Road past the Holcim Cement Works and turn left onto Tauranga Bay road, approx 11 km from Westport.
The Cape Foulwind Walkway is best started from the end of the Cape Foulwind Road. The walkway finishes at Tauranga Bay carpark. As the walk is one way you will need to arrange transport or return by the same walkway.
Safety
On the longer walk you should wear sturdy footwear and take warm windproof clothes. Along the coastline there are many exposed sections which require care and supervision of children.
Looking after the area
Please keep to the track so as not to disturb the native vegetation and wildlife.
