The Devonport ferry terminal is at the south end of Devonport village. There are coastal promenades and small beaches on either side of the terminal, but the immediate attraction is the village. Devonport is one of the older Auckland suburbs and has retained much of its early Victorian and Edwardian character. In addition, it has one of the largest Moreton Bay fig trees you will see in Auckland, in the park on the right just before you get to the shops.
The village has a range of cafes, restaurants, and other shops, an art deco-era cinema, a war memorial, and a couple of outdoor sculptures. It is the perfect place to start and end your visit to the peninsula. It is also the start or end point of the North Shore Coastal Walk, which is also a section of Te Araroa.
