Enjoy walking 50km of the spectacular larapuna / Bay of Fires coastline this August on five big beach walks over four days.

Come for one day, two days or all four and get lots of fresh air while helping keep our precious coast healthy.

Along the way we’ll work together to control the beach weed ‘sea spurge’ and remove marine litter from the coastline, helping protect the beach habitat of the hooded plover and other significant shorebirds. Free buses from St Helens will get you there and back (except Fri. 21^st). These are all-day walks over soft sand and rocks and the weather may be challenging, so you need to be fit and able.  Pack your lunch, water, good wind/rain protection, warm clothing and wear hiking footwear.
