About Coromandel Walkway and mountain bike track
Time required : 7 hr return The coastal walk between Stony and Fletcher Bays crosses farmland and goes through coastal forest with views of the Pinnacles, Great Barrier Island (Aotea Island) to the north and Cuvier Island (Repanga Island) in the east. The track follows an easy gradient with a short steep section in to and out of Poley Bay. It is part of an old bridle path formed by early pioneers to link the two bays. Return the same way or create a circuit using the Coromandel mountain bike track but be aware that this is much steeper and slippery in places.
