Exploring Te Akeake Walk in Wenderholm
Te Akeake Walk is a scenic, flat trail located in Wenderholm Regional Park, on the Hibiscus Coast in northern Auckland. This walk offers a picturesque route along Te Akeake spit, following the edge of the Pūhoi River and estuary to the river mouth at the beach.
The path is mostly grassed and shaded by mature pōhutukawa trees, providing a tranquil setting for visitors. The area is ideal for relaxing or enjoying a casual pick-up game, making it a great spot for leisure activities.
A Perfect Time for a Visit
The walk is particularly beautiful during the golden hour and as the tide comes in, creating a stunning backdrop for an evening picnic. The combination of natural beauty and peaceful surroundings makes it an excellent choice for those looking to unwind and enjoy the outdoors.
