Love love love this beach. It’s an awesome place to take your furry friend for a nice stroll. The beach is really long (walk all the way to entrance to Karitane estuary) so you can take a long walk should you so wish. Beautiful outlook towards Karitane near the south of the beach. Often horses training on the beach so make sure you have a lead for your dog just in case. Surf is usually pretty gentle so can swim safely (while not patrolled). Family friendly!

I’m lucky enough to live 15mins away from the Port Hills. I’m a runner and being up here as the sun rises or sets is something rather amazing. Definitely get up here if you can, the walking tracks are well maintained and the views are spectacular

Such a peaceful and beautiful site for a cementary. A quick walk from Gore Bay along the beach and winding up the hill. Well worth a visit.

Very informative interesting walk. You can chose to also do few different walks to suit different fitness levels. The restored remains of the village settlement were full of history and gave us a feel of what it looked like back in the day. I'd recommend to do this walk when in Arrowtown
