Mahinepua Coastal Walk

We did the Mahinepua walk in 2018, and thought it was one of the best day hikes we've done in New Zealand. We did it again January 15th.

Among the bays on the way

Pohutukawa on Mahinepua Bay

Nice swimming cove to rappel to

Before the bigger uphills, Vicki decided to save her knees for
bigger things and waited in the shade of another cove (right of
center)

It's sort of a ridge walk out on a peninsula; here looking left

Right, across the bay

Left again closer up

Ahead, the end of the peninsula and a small island beyond

The trig; end of walk

View from trig

Me, there

Trig documentation

Among the several long staircases that constitute this
walk

Blue waters

Someone's beautiful Norfolk Island Pine wind break

The Fishbowl, we call it; right on the beach parking lot, every room
with a picture window view...in as well as out

Looking at that staircase, I think I would have been with Vicki in the shade of the tree.
