★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Breathtaking. Figuratively and literaly. The stairs are hell. The signs say only do the beach walk at mid to low tide. Aim for low tide, or be prepared to do the stairs for a 2nd time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I loved this beach ?. Wonderful walk alongside. White sand ?? I was interested to do the long walk for 3 hours but didn't have time. I would love to do it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Took a good three hours to do the whole walk up the cliff and back via the rocky beach. Medium level of fitness but overall not too hard. Recommend decent tread on your shoes to walk on the rock. Great experience.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Another amazing hike/walk to be added to my list (and you should add to yours too! ?)
Before you can reach the start of the track, you first have to take a walk along the marvelous Mangawhai Heads beach — quite a stretch but worth it.
Then first 10-15 minutes of the track almost killed me and my lungs (lol) because of the relentless incline but don’t give up as it becomes easier eventually and again very much worth it… the views are just indescribably stunning ?
Track is about 2.5 hours return (took longer for me because I had to take numerous stops for rest and photos), then a dip in the beach is just perfect. There was also a frozen ice cream stand nearby which is the perfect ending to the hike ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Loved this walk which we did on a sunny summers day which offered beautiful views.
Our summary:
- 2h20 mins for us, return from car park. We’re 50 and didn’t take the kids. We’re of reasonable fitness (we walk approx 12K steps per day) and found each end a good workout heading up the stairs / incline.
- As it was mid-high tide, we walked the track there and back as opposed to the beach one way - this was 9.3km return from the car park.
- The access to the track is approx 1km up the beach from the car park (clearly sign posted).
- There is considerable time in the sun so recommend a hat and water.
- The track is in great condition - good walking shoes recommended but we saw people walking it OK in jandals / sandals.
- It is steep at each and - we gained a total of 355m with the highest altitude being 117m above sea level.
- If you walk the beach first as opposed to the track (only at mid-low tide), you will find the track signposted just after going through the big rock arch at the far end of the track. We were at this end of the track by the arch approx 2-hours before high tide and the water was waist deep through the arch.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Once we found the actual walk (you have to start by walking along the beach) this was a really enjoyable (although slightly longer than anticipated) walk. Stunning views. Kids handled it (just) at 10yrs and 13yrs. If you are cutting it fine for tides you can walk it in reverse - all the way along the beaches then cliffotps on the way back. Definitely worth the effort though!
