A nice easy walk that we do often.
Walking past the boat sheds is really nice (they're so picturesque) and the path is flat and easy - suitable for prams etc.
You'll likely meet other dog walkers, runners and the occasional mountain biker - and everyone is respectful.
To stretch the walk out a little further you can start at the Mana bridge carpark (and get a coffee and muffin from the coffee cart to start the day well). At low tide, walk along the beach - or at high tide, take the grassy path that backs on to the houses.
There are plenty of spots to throw a stick into the water for some good doggie swims too.
Enjoy!
