Start from Wainui car park at the end of McShane Rd.
The car park gateaway portrays two taniwha/water monsters of the Wainui and Parapara inlets near Collingwood who devoured travellers.
A 1-2 hour walk (tide dependent) along the coastline from Wainui Bay is Taupo point. Taupo Point was the pa site (fortified village) of the Tumatakokiri tribe whose warriors were thought to have killed four of Abel Tasman’s men in 1642. The pits, hollows and terraces of the Maori pa still remain. In 1978 the surrounding hills were ravaged by fire, but Taupo Point was spared. Consequently there is an interesting and diverse flora clinging to this fertile limestone outcrop.
Summer evening picnics at Taupo Point are very special. The beach glows under the fading evening light and the kanuka trees turn a rich, bronze colour which contrasts with the emerald colour of the sea.
Best at low tide, although there is a high tide track. Allow 1 hour each way. Requires a bit of rock/hopping and agility.
