Tauwhara Beach at Watkin Powell
Once you enter the reserve, the high standard, short track winds its way up through established bush of puriri, cabbage trees and manuka.
After a short walk, you reach a stile at the top of a hill. From here, the track zigzags its way through flax and a number of very large pohutukawa trees down to the lovely Tauwhara Bay.
