At the tip of the Awhitu peninsula is the Manukau Heads lighthouse which is no longer operational as ships are now guided into the harbour by the harbourmaster via radio frequency.
The views from the top however were spectacular, looking over the southern end of the Waitakere Ranges. This is the view to Whatipu the most southern of the west coast Waitakere beaches.
Whilst further round the coast over to Huia and Cornwallis.
Ninepin rock is the furthest point into the harbour at the end of Whatipu beach, a popular but treacherous spot for fishing.
The view back to Auckland from the peninsula - city is about 90km away.
