This is a 7.4km, easy, flat track that takes you along the coast from Ōwhiro Bay Quarry, past a small group of historic baches built in the early 1900s, and out to Devil’s Gate at Sinclair Head. The trail starts from the car park located at the end of Ōwhiro Bay Parade and ends at the Devil’s Gate at Sinclair Head, with the red rocks along the way, and also a seal colony during the winter months.
