Ohiwa Beach
Great place to walk along the beach. Close to the Ohiwa Beach Camp Grounds
A stunning bush walk way with a stunning kauri tree at its core which is over 2000 years old.
"The Hukutaia Domain ranks as one of Opotiki's main attractions. It is a 5 hectare remnant of extensive native forest that was set aside as a reserve by one of the original owners Mr E.M Hutchinson in the early 1900's. Mr Norman Potts was instrumental in developing the reserve with walking tracks and touring all over New Zealand (plus outlying islands) gathering rare and endangered plants some of which now form a very valuable botanical collection. Mr Marc Heginbotham followed on with Mr Potts work. Of particular interest is the 2000/5000 year old giant Puriri tree. Being hollow the tree was used as a resting place for the bones of Distinguished Dead of the Upokorehe. The tree named Taketakerau was highly Tapu. Local resident Marnie Anstis has written a book entitled the Millennium Tree which is based on the life of Taketakerau. The Domain is owned by the Opotiki District Council. A Care Group looks after the Domain by way of maintenance, pest control and development with generous help from the Council and Environment Bay of Plenty. Brochures, information sheets and notices about various topics are available in the Domain. There is no charge to visit the Domain. To get to the Domain turn left immediately on leaving the Waioeka bridge (heading west) on to Woodlands Road and drive about 7 kilometers to very near the end where you will find the Domain sign. The Domain is looked after by the Hukutaia Domain 'CARE GROUP' a small group of volunteer locals with a keen interest in the welfare of the Domain. Work includes track maintenance and improvement, pest control, signs, information and data."

A beautiful cycle way.
From Website: https://motutrails.co.nz/experience/explore-the-trails/dunes-trail-3
Cruise a gravel trail along a spectacular stretch of Pacific Ocean coastline. Regular rises pop you up above the sand dunes for panoramic views of the open ocean, of Moutohorā (Whale Island), Whakaari (White Island), and of the mighty Raukūmara Ranges of Eastland.
You’ll ride through native plantings protecting the fragile dune ecosystem. You’ll have access points along the way to hit the stunning, empty beach – for a rest, a picnic or a quick dip in the surf. You’ll ride boardwalks, cross bridges and see pou whenua (carved posts). You’ll soak up the feeling of peace, wide open space and freedom that is the eastern Bay of Plenty.
At the trail’s end, take a rest in the shelter then turn around and ride back. Or continue your adventure on the Motu Road Trail. The Dunes Trail can also be walked or run – and it’s an excellent family ride with its many, short, up-and-downs to offer challenge, and the ability to turn around at whatever distance you choose.
