Milford - Takapuna Walk


Despite having worked in Takapuna for the past 3 years, I have never done the walk between Takapuna and Milford, so today we decided to make the most of the sunshine and do the walk. Takapuna to Milford was along the road known as the "Golden Mile", so called because of the high value real estate. The trip back to Takapuna follows the coast line and can only be done at low tide. Here there is the most amazing black lava rock which forms a large area of the beach.


Black rock was formed about 100,000 years ago when Lake Pupuke, on the other side of the "Golden Mile" to the beach, erupted.





We continued the walk around the coast, scrambling over the rocks and admiring the multi million dollar properties that line the beach, and finishing off at Takapuna beach.
