Oct 21, 2025 Matarangi Bluff
Pink hued dawn clouds.
We decided to stay close to ‘home’, to Matarangi Bluff trail near the enclave of Matarangi, a sand spit only a 15 minute drive away.
We had to climb up, up, up to the top of the bluff for a great view of Matarangi.
The Bluff encircles an amphitheater with a wetland in the center. From the trail around the rim there are great views out to sea and inland.
Down in the bowl of the amphitheater is a regenerating forest.
And a bonus beach!
