North Shore Coastal Walk

Auckland



1. The all-tide route follows cliff top tracks, pedestrian shortcuts, steps and footpaths. After heavy weather events, some areas can be affected, so follow marked alternatives or self-navigate the streets.

2. You will need to take careful note of the time of low tide, as there are several points where you can be cut off   by the rising water. If you want to walk the whole way during one low tide, prepare to do some wading.
Alternatively, break the walk partway, and complete it at low tide the following day. 

3. It is possible to walk almost all the way on the shoreline, but Auckland Council does not recommend this route. Rocks may be very slippery and unstable underfoot. Because high sandstone cliffs are subject to sudden rockfalls, please keep at least 10m out from the cliffs.
