Cooks Cove

We started the day heading to Tologa which had a historical wharf that jutted 660m into the bay. It was a beautiful sunny day but the wind was roaring. We walked to the end of the pier and got some great photos. From there we drove up the road to Cook Cove trail head. This 7km return walk took up and down and through cow and sheep pastures to arrive at one of the landing point of Captain Cook. Signs along the way told the story and we really enjoyed the walk and surrounding coastline.

Back on the road we detoured to Te Puka Bay. A great beach but not much happening here. We did stop for some coffee and fries as the clouds rolled in and it began to rain. We put a few more hours of driving to get around the coat. The roads are so windy here that every 1 hour drive here takes 2 hours.Read more
