Exploring Scandrett Regional Park
Scandrett Regional Park, located in the Auckland region, is a scenic destination offering panoramic views of Kawau and Scandrett Bays, as well as Mullet Point. A visit here is perfect for those who enjoy short walks and beautiful beaches.
Martins Bay Track
Begin your adventure at the upper parking area, where you can enjoy sweeping views before heading towards the small historic shed to the east. Here, you'll find the entrance to the short track leading to Martins Bay. This walk takes about 5 to 10 minutes and leads you to a stunning white sand beach, ideal for safe swimming and camping.
The track descends to the north end of Martins Bay, passing through regenerating coastal forest. Along the way, you'll encounter several large pōhutukawa trees. Although the walk is generally easy, be prepared for a steep section near the bottom. Midway down, a grassed reserve offers excellent views over Martins Bay, framed by exotic pines at the cliff's edge. Return to the parking area via the same path.
Additional Tracks in the Park
From the upper car park, you can also explore other trails such as the Kawau Bay, Mullet Point, and Orchard Tracks. These paths loop around the park, providing further opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
How to Get There
To reach Scandrett Regional Park, drive towards the upper parking area, which is clearly marked and offers fantastic views. From here, you can easily access the track to Martins Bay and other trails within the park. Nearby, you can also explore the picturesque surroundings of Kawau Bay and Mullet Point.
