About halfway down White Rock Road, a left turn for signposted Tora Road will take you to the coast of Manurewa Point, north of White Rock. The winding road follows the Awhea River and will take you past the hamlets of Little Tora, Heather Hills, and Awhea. It will also introduce you to many bovine and ovine locals! As such, beware of your speed on the gravel road, as the cows aren’t always the quickest to move out of your way.
You will also pass the entry point for the three-day Tora Coastal Walk, which must be booked a season or two in advance.
