Smugglers Cove
Only accessible by the 2km coastal walkway or by boat in stunning Bream Head Reserve
About this activity
From the car park at Urquharts Bay Road there is open grassland walking southwards over a low hill to Smugglers Cove. The view from the cove to the offshore islands alone is worth the walk but there is also excellent fishing, diving and swimming. Hillside pits and terraces and large shell middens amongst the dunes are evidence of early Maori settlement. An interesting alternative is to follow the harbours edge fromt he car park to Home Point and the remains of the World War II coastal defences overlooking the harbours entrance. Walk takes 1 hour return.
