Description
From the car park, run south back up the road for 200m then turn right onto the trail. Follow this up to another car park, then keep right on the Coastal Trail. Follow this until it reaches the road (around the 2km mark). There are several smaller off-shoot trails but just stay on the main one hugging the beach. When you hit the road, follow it south and round in an anticlockwise direction until you reach the Inland Track off to your right (around 2.6km).
Follow this undulating trail all the way back to the first intersection where you joined the Coastal Track. Now turn right and follow the tram lines up Whareroa road, ignore the Old Farm Track turnoff, go past the US marine memorial and just as you reach the Ramaroa centre (6.2km), turn left and go past the stables onto the Whareroa Stream Loop.
This trail follows the stream and brings you out onto the Te Ara o Whareroa Trail at around 8.1k. This trail is sealed and popular with bikes so be aware. Turn right onto the trail and after around 100m, turn left at the sign marked for the Coastal Track. Follow this up and out towards the beach. Once you're at the T-junction, turn left and follow it back to the car park where you started.
