Otara Bay can be reached by walking over the headland at the northern end of Te Karo Bay. This area is also a kiwi sanctuary, although you are unlikely to see a kiwi as they are very shy and nocturnal.
Otara Bay is frequently deserted even in the height of the season.

Sightseeing
An easy 20 minute walk to the summit from the car park. Local Maori legend has it that if you climb to the summit of Mount Paku, you will return one day! Fantastic 360 degree views from the summit.
It is also possible walk around Paku using the many walkways and stairs available. Start either at the end of The Esplanade past the Marina, or from the South end of the surf beach using the Oceania walkway.

Halfway along Pumpkin Hill Road there is a very short walk (10mins) up to the trig. From there are great views south down the coast and out to sea. The original painting by Paul Herbert in our lounge is painted from this perspective.
