A short, tight, hilly road between Tutukaka and Matapouri on the Northland coast.

SeasonOctober to April

Short and tight, with a lot of bends in a small distance, lined with bush and farmland.

It is the way to the beaches, so expect beach traffic in summer.

It makes a good loop with Whangarei Heads.
