Public access to Karekare is currently restricted. Access to Karekare, Te Henga Bethells Beach, and Muriwai are compromised. Please stay away. Do not add additional pressure to these communities by trying to visit them at this time.
Sightseeing is discouraged especially in resident-only access areas. This puts already vulnerable roads under stress and causes safety risks. Access is only for those who live in these areas.
