Walking in the Waitakeres - Bethells Beach


As today is Good Friday and everything here is shut, we headed out west to the Waitakere Ranges to do some walking. Our first stop was Bethells Beach, a typical west coast beach with its black sand and big waves.





We set off on a walk which took us along the cliffs heading north. On the way we were rewarded with some lovely views down to Bethells Beach.







As we continued along the coast line we reached O'Neills Bay which can only be reached on foot with no road access.







The walk provided to be very strenuous in parts, we both didn't expect it to be quite so hilly!! Eventually we reached the turn around point and had a stunning view down to the south to O'Neills Bay and Bethells Beach in the distance.




Whilst the view up to the north shows Muriwai beach and Regional Park.
