Tutukaka Coast


Today we headed north from Ngunguru and explored the rest of the Tutukaka coast. First stop was Wellington Bay.






We spent a couple of hours here soaking up the glorious sunshine and doing a spot of fishing, waiting for that ever elusive bite.






After limited success, only small fish, Royston tried his luck out nearer the rocks and the larger waves but nothing biting today, not even a sock...





Next stop was the lookout point giving great views out over the coastline and across to the Poor Knights Islands. This view is back to Ngunguru.





From here we headed to Matapouri, a lovely spot and great beach with walks heading into the bush. Unfortunately no campsite here as this would be a perfect weekend destination.





Our final stop was Whananaki South famous for having the largest footbridge in the southern hemisphere, which leads to Whananaki North. Not the most inspiring of bridges however.
