Hari Hari Coastal Walkway
Trip Overview
Harihari Coastal Walkway is one of the most scenic walkways on the West Coast, with spectacular views of forest, rivers, mountains and coastline. We begin our walk from the carpark at the end of La Fontaine Rd beside the Wanganui River, passing small whitebaiters huts and jetties. The track down the Wanganui River to the Doughboy and beach is no longer maintained by DOC so there is a bit of scrambling over driftwood and through flax bushes and possibly getting wet feet. Once at the beach we walk to the mouth of the Poerua river and the track returns past some baches and back to the carpark through beautiful forest. Takes about 3-4 hours including lunch break.
Gear Required
Good walking boots/shoes, warm clothes, raincoat, lunch and drinks.
