The Awaroa Walkway runs from Shelly Park Beach, Howick, to Musick Point. There are a number of access points along the walkway, which follows the coastline, or if the tide is full, reserves and roads.
The complete walkway may take 4 to 6 hours, although shorter sections are recommended.
Awaroa means 'long river' in Māori and refers to Tamaki Strait, the long stretch of sea between Musick Point and south of Maraetai, that may look like a long river.
Dogs
Dogs are welcome along the walkway provided they are kept under control and do not disturb wildlife or other park users. Dogs are not permitted on sport fields or near children's playgrounds.
