Description |
An easy stroll around a small and iconic West Coast village, folllowing a grassy stopbank between the small baches and the gravelly river flodplain. Venture onto the gravel bar at the river mouth, and pick your way between the storm debris to the sea; then follow the sandy beach south as far as you want to go. Note that penguins nest near the carpark area - so keep dogs under close control. |
