Learn about the local tracks
There are many walking and cycling tracks in the Langs Beach area which are signposted on the top trails map. Further information and maps will be added over time.
When enjoying these beautiful tracks do spare a thought for the Wairahi Tracks volunteers who are constantly building and maintaining the tracks as well as maintaining the weed and pest control of the area.
Get involved
We are always looking for new people to help us to:
Build access tracks
Remove weeds and pests
Restore natural habitats
Build community Involvement and ownership of this important work
The volunteers are a friendly bunch and welcome new members – just get in touch. The ‘Friday Trackies’ sessions (2 hours ) end with a glorious bacon and egg pie, and morning tea prepared so generously by Christine Birss.

Langs Beach, Bream Bay, Northland, New Zealand
Langs Beach is an iconic, sandy, north-facing, pohutukawa-fringed beach in Bream Bay, on the east coast of the Northland peninsula of New Zealand’s North Island.
To our north lies the Pacific Ocean, and to our south lies the Piroa/Brynderwyn range, a recognised high-value conservation area where kiwi have recently been re-introduced.
We are one of many local kaitiaki groups engaged in the recovery of our precious ngahere from invasive weeds and predators.
