North Mole is probably the best place for sunsets in Whanganui, on the north side of the river mouth. It is a short drive from downtown and the termination point for the Mountains to Sea Cycle Trail. Access to parking is directly down Morgan Street.
Although down at sea level, there is a clear view of Mt Taranaki to the northwest. The nearby section of beach (south end of Castlecliff) is spectacular with its piles of driftwood, and the waves can get quite exciting if the wind is up!
