Good to know about Mangawhai Cliffs Walkway
- The Department of Conservation lists it as an easy to intermediate walking track of two to three hours return, with steep ups and downs and lots of steps.
- To come back along the beach, start two to three hours before low tide, because at high tide the beach between the rock archway and the car park is impassable.
- If water is surging through the rock archway, return by the cliff walkway instead.
- The walkway crosses private land, so keep to the track, and the Department of Conservation says no dogs.
- Kaipara District Council manages the car park, which has free parking for cars and campervans and marked mobility spaces, and it gets very busy in summer.
- In summer a free bus runs from Mangawhai to Mangawhai Heads Beach, with details on the Kaipara District Council website.
