Cudlip Point Loop Track – Mahurangi West
- Location
- Drive north on State Highway 1. About 6km past Wenderholm Regional Park, turn right into Mahurangi West Rd then right into Ngarewa Drive and follow to the end of the road.
- Description
The sheltered bays, native bush, open pasture and historic sites of Mahurangi Regional Park straddle the entrance to the beautiful Mahurangi Harbour, which gives the park its name.
The park is divided into three "fingers" – Mahurangi West, Scott point and Mahurangi East. Mahurangi West provides a backdrop to three pohutukawa-fringed bays – Sullivan's (Otarawao) Bay, Mita (Otuawao) Bay and Te Muri Bay.
**Cudlip Point Loop Track**This often windswept track leads up to the open pastures of Cudlip Point then down to the foreshore and back.
Scott Point includes the historic Scott Homestead, while the remote Mahurangi East is only accessible by sea.The park is a favourite stop for boaties all year round. It takes on a festive air at Auckland Anniversary Weekend in January, when hundreds of classic vessels revel in the Mahurangi Old Time Regatta.
