Tickets
Free
Address
At the tip of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, about an hour by car from the city

Drive to the end of the peninsula and sheep hills tumble into the sea. Part of the park is a fenced open sanctuary, so native birds are a decent bet. Coastal tracks make it hard to believe the city is an hour away. Entry is free.
