Tatarata Point separates Murrays Bay and Rothesay Bay on the North Shore Coastal Walk. It is another example of the colourful eroding cliffs, topped by pohutukawa trees, which are a feature of the walk. A multi-layered rock platform is right on the point, perfect for a break and even for a jump into the sea.
Exploring the area is best done at low tide when more platforms and rock pools are exposed. Oddly, it feels quite remote, even though the point is covered in houses.
