About this place

Added by Marty JL

This short walk near Auckland delivers stunning views of New Zealand's West Coast.

Starting at the end of Log Race Road, just outside Piha, this well groomed loop track takes you along the cliff line above the Tasman Sea and back to the carpark. The Mercer Bay Loop guarantees access to some stunning scenery, and has plenty of accessible spots to stop and take pictures, have lunch, and enjoy the views along the way.
