The North Shore Coastal Walk / Te Araroa section from Fossil Point to Thorne Bay is the most rugged, undulating around a particularly rocky section of the North Shore coastline. The track runs immediately between the high water mark and the private properties that front the coast.
Along the way, you may spot further evidence of the Pupuke eruption. Shortly before Thorne Bay, there is another larger rocky outcrop that is part of Takapuna Reef. The numerous large rock pools as the tide goes out are interesting, so take your time to explore.
