You could spend a lifetime exploring this beautiful coastline and always be kept guessing about what’s around the next corner. The Headlands and Hidden Harbours journey is the trail of hidden treasures, beautiful beaches and rocky outcrops, small coastal settlements, and heritage towns.

As well as the distinctive headlands, there are many rocky topped maunga (mountains and outcrops) you’ll see from the road, or better yet enjoy the view from the top. Just off the main road (State Highway 10) are so many hidden gems for your journey to include. So, allow time to explore off the beaten track. Pick a harbour, a headland walk or bay, take some provisions and enjoy a picnic with an amazing view. Or simply just get to know and enjoy the quaint towns along the way. Either way you are in for a feast of treats!
