This sheltered walk takes you along the shores of Pāuatahanui Inlet . Amble along the track which is easy and enjoy the ever changing views across the water high tide or low tide. Dogs are allowed on the leash and not too hard a challenge for young children. There is wetland wildlife to observe and on some days there are people enjoying water sports, sailing, kayaking, rowing to watch too. At the Grays Road end of the track there is a row of iconic boat sheds. Toilets are at both ends and plenty of parking by the Paremata Bridge ( a coffee cart as well! ) At low tide there is a little bit of a beach, or continue walking under the bridge towards Plimmerton.

It is a big area and the view is stunning. You better drive to explore the area. you can see rocks, large grassland, ocean and so on that you would like to capture all scene! Don't miss the point at the cliff! There are not many people on our visit. I love the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. We can see some people taking their dogs. The only problem was the strong wind. Sometimes we can't stand still. I can't have my hat secure on my head. Maybe you should find a day with mild wind if possible. You can see Mana Island from some angle. Stunning!

It's a hard slog going up the steps from Camp Elsdon, but boy the views from the top are worth it! The track is very sheltered from the wind and to a large extent from the rain (the canopy is very thick), so you can do the walk in most weather. On windy days, take a jacket as the top is very exposed and the wind can be chilly up there.
