Mangawhai is all about our beautiful estuary and home of the stingrays. This walk takes you on the entire journey from the Heads to the Domain, exploring our estuary walkways.
In early times the estuary was a trading hub with scows regularly visiting the Tavern wharf. We will walk through Ship Builders Bay, where the Daring was built in 1863 before her unfortunate stranding just south of South Head in 1865. Take in the serenity of the big dune, discover the Moir Point pa site and the Back Bay board walk, walk the esplanade to the historic pub before making your way back to the Domain along Moir St. You will enjoy how much there is to see on these beautiful pathways less travelled.
