Te Werahi Beach Track
Located in Te Paki Recreation Reserve and Cape Reinga/Te Rerenga Wairua in the Northland region
Introduction
From Cape Reinga/Te Rerenga Wairua, this 2 km track follows the West Coast leading you down past steep cliffs to the long, sweeping Te Werahi Beach.This section makes a nice short walk or half day excursion. At Te Werahi you will notice the coastline is wilder than the secluded north/east coast bays.
If you wish to continue or link to the Twilight - Te Werahi Loop Track the walk along Te Werahi Beach is about 3 km and takes nearly one hour. The loop can be accessed at the far end of the beach.
This track between Cape Reinga/Te Rerenga Wairua and Te Werahi Beach forms part of the Te Paki Coastal Track.
Cape Reinga/Te Rerenga Wairua and Te Paki are located at the northernmost area of New Zealand on the Aupouri Peninsula. Follow State Highway 1 north from Kaitaia approximately 96 km to Te Paki and 111 km to Cape Reinga/Te Rerenga Wairua.
- Pack your insect repellent, sunscreen, and tide chart.
- You may want to time your arrival at Te Werahi Stream to avoid high tide, which makes the stream crossing more difficult.
Safety
Take care around rocks and streams - some sections of the track may not be accessible around high-tide.
