The Coastal Walkway runs for kilometres along the New Plymouth foreshore and on to the arched Te Rewa Rewa footbridge over the Waiwhakaiho River. On a clear day the bridge lines up with the mountain behind it, which is why everyone stops here. Walk or ride as much or as little as you like.

Good to know

  • Early morning gives the best chance of a clear mountain
  • Bikes can be hired in town if you want to go further
