Depending on exactly where the Te Henga Walkway is closed, you may be able to explore around Tirikohua Point, immediately south of Bartrum Bay. This is a very colourful section of the coast with orange and yellow clays and several superb viewpoints, including a grassy north-facing area above the cliff for a picnic.
To the south are Te Henga Bethells Beach and O’Neill Bay, and to the north is Muriwai.
