Te Pare Historic Reserve

A short, easy grass track climbs to the old terraced pā at the south end of Hahei Beach, with views along the coast and out to the offshore islands. It's a good sunrise or sunset stop that most day-trippers skip.

Good to know

• Leave nothing on the pā terraces, it is a protected site
• Bring a jacket, it is exposed to the wind
• Combine it with a morning at the beach

Best time

Sunrise or sunset
