From the centre of Karamea village, take Waverley Street westwatrds to the junction with Wharf Road. Turn left, then 1st right on Ray Street and park in the car park at the end of the road. |
Description |
From the carpark the walk runs southwards along the back of the saltmarsh to a sandy beach. Follow this around to the river mouth and you'll find a return track back through the dune scrub to where you started. Alternatively, you can continue the curcuit vis the end of Wharf Road back onto Ray Street. To extend the walk, take the track from the carpark out onto the saltmarsh and wander where you can, spending a bit of time discovering the subtle beauty in this much underappreciated and endangered habitat. |
