Ninety Mile Beach Off The Beaten Path

3 more images

At the northern end of 90 mile beach is a cliff with stairs going up. Climbing up here you can get great photos on the beach stretching south and dissapearing into the horizon.

Carry on walking along the cliffs, heading north towards Cape Reinga. The photo gives you an idea of the sunsets along this stretch of coast.

After a while you will come to Te One I Rehia, a beach that has no road access, and meeting another person out here is rare. This is the first beach after the Tohe. Westerlies, blowing straight off the sea can make it hard to walk.

From this beach you walk through the dunes (or around them) and come to another beach, called Te Werahi (Twilight Beach). This beach is the one you can see on the west coast from Cape Reinga.

Walking along Te Werahi, you will finally come to Cape Reinga.

This can be done in a day, or you can camp along the way. The first water supply is at Te One I Rehia - the first beach - but it is hard to find. The next water supply is at Te Werahi, so it may be best to carry water with you.

The other photos in this tip shows the seascape from the cliffs, Te One I Rehia from the cliffs with nature in full glory - a storm coming in from the sea and the other photo is walking on Te One I Rehia.
