The coastal road north from Whitianga to Kuaotunu, bending along beaches and headlands.

SeasonOctober to April

A pleasant coastal road with long bends, headland climbs and glimpses of the sea.

It is quieter than the main cross-peninsula roads and a good half-day ride.

Summer holiday weeks bring heavy traffic to the beach towns.
