The pink line along the beach is the route, but it is only accessible at low tide!

Ohawe Beach starts at the mouth of the Waingongoro River where it flows into the Tasman Sea. The same Waingongoro River that we crossed on a narrow swing bridge near the Waingongoro Tramping Hut up on Mt. Taranaki 6 days ago!

The black sand beach stretches away in the distance, we have to reach the last bluff before turning around to come back!

Some of the interesting things we encountered on our attempts. A fisherman, an older catch that someone apparently filleted, a fossil shell and a mummified baby shark?
