🏞️ Track Details:

  • Start Location: Whananaki village (between Russell & Whangārei, 40 km NE from Whangārei)

  • Private farmland & campground at the beginning – Stay on track!

  • Limited parking – Be mindful of roadside space 🚗

🏖️ Secluded Beaches – Explore quiet spots on the headland, perfect for fishing, swimming and diving 🎣🐠.
