Walk #147, 28th January 2025
The beach looks out over the Mercury Islands where Captain Cook observed the transit of Mercury on his voyage around New Zealand. The unspoilt beach is protected from development, backed by sand dunes which is now a nature reserve. Our endangered North Island Dotterill birds have a haven here, unlike so many other beaches around the coast.
