An interesting coastal/bush walk with good views and a few sites of historic interest along the way. There are wicked seascapes, coastal forest and gold mining remains along this walking track which links Cobden's North Beach with Rapahoe, just north of Greymouth. An easy walk well worth doing.

This walk is mostly flat after a short uphill start. Lovely views over the beach, we walked in the evening and watched the sunset over Tasman.

Easy walk next to the coast but without much views, at least for the first hour (to the lookout point Elizabeth). Nice walk in the bush though.

There are 25 Regional Parks throughout the Auckland region that have lots of walks, picnic areas, safe swimming beaches, historic sites, and places to camp in them. One thing to note though is take extra plastic bags as none of these parks have rubbish bins, you must take your rubbish home. A good place to get a whole bunch of useful information about the regional parks is the Arataki Visitor Centre in the Waitakere Ranges.
