Te Ana O Hau is the rocky section of the shoreline along what is now SH59 between Paekākāriki and Pukerua Bay. Once the main highway, this is a relaxed coastal drive with some obvious stopping points, including a large parking area just before the road climbs the hill to Pukerua. From there, it is a short walk to Pukerua Bay or along the coast to Paekākāriki. Note that there is no entry to these stops when driving south; they are only accessible from the northbound lane.
If you look up the hill above the car park, you can pick out one of the swing bridges on the Paekakariki Escarpment Track, a section of Te Araroa.
