Te Whara
From Ocean Beach, you climb a very rough track up the cliff to the ridge beyond. Once off the cliff, the track is better formed but still steep. Continue on past a WWII naval radar station to the Bream Head/Te Whara summit. It’s worth the short detour to the viewing platform. The rock formations & coastal views are spectacular.
