Vector is installing underground power lines along Maraetai Coast Road. Work starts at the Umupuia end.
From December to March the road will be reduced to a single lane with Stop/Go signs in place. From March the road will be completely closed for around 3 months (weather permitting).
During the complete closure you will need to use alternate routes. To travel from Clevedon to Maraetai, Beachlands and Pine Harbour use Twilight or West roads, via Brookby and Whitford. When works permit, the road will open to pedestrians and cyclists on weekends.
This site has a single electric barbecue, easy access to the beach, and some trees for shelter.
It is located near the entrance to the park. A drop-off bay is nearby - vehicle parking is not available on the site.
