Walking at Tawharanui

Today we headed north to Tawharanui Regional Park to do a 10km walk around the park. The starting point was Anchor Bay and the sun was shining!





The first climb gave great views back all the way down Anchor Bay.






And at the highest trig point on the walk we could see over to Omaha beach. Next stop was Tokatu Point, the far easterly point of the park and were fortunate enough to see two dolphins playing just off the coast. There were also a few boats fishing on the edge of the marine reserve.



We then headed into native bush, including lots of manuka trees. Views from the southern path looked straight over to Kawau island.






The final leg of the walk was to the lagoon area of the park, heading through a field of sheep with all the baby lambs running around. After a brief stop for lunch we walked back to the beach and a well deserved rest.
