Please join us for a talk and discussion on Friday 28th June 2024, led by local artist, designer and furniture maker Carin Wilson, Ngati Awa, Tuhourangi
Cyclone Gabrielle saw quite a bit of damage along the river banks between the bridges at Langs Beach Estate and Langs Cove. We lost up to 2 metres of bank and plants. Hard to believe when you look at the trickle that is going along to the sea at present. There was a track (often called the B2B) that went from one bridge to the other.
Many were sad to see the track go and some of the families from Langs Beach Estate and a few ‘trackies’ from Wairahi Tracks met for a workingbee on Sunday 28 April and again last Sunday .

2023 was an eventful year on Waorahi. The year started with a warm glow, enjoying our upgraded roads as the native bush bloomed and quickly covered the scars from moving earth and metal. A couple of ex-Cyclones didn’t trouble us and we congratulated ourselves that the investment in upgrading water channels, including over 30 culverts had paid off.
Until that is, late February ….
Our Langs beach dotterels have new chicks . These tiny creatures are extremely vulnerable. They look like a fluff-ball of sand blowing along – so enticing to a dog, so vulnerable to the wheel of a tractor or a very high tide, .
Those of you who were holidaying at Waipu Cove or Langs Beach over Labour Weekend may have enjoyed a walk along The Coastal Walkway. What an improvement and a huge shout out to all those volunteers working with The Wairahi Tracks Trust to make it happen.
David Jack and Liz Thomas report that 3 European Weddings in 2022 resulted from the lure of the Coastal Track.
Check out an amazing insight into part of the burgeoning birdlife in our local scenic reserve - with captured images and videos.
The Coastal Walkway will be fully open again from today - 23 December 2022. A big thankyou for your generosity.
We’re looking for your support to upgrade the Coastal Walkway, situated on the coastline between Langs Beach and Waipu Cove. This path offers spectacular views of Bream Bay to walkers, hikers, and trampers. It is considered one of the best coastal walks in New Zealand and features in many tourism Northland publications - with views to the Hen and Chickens (Taranga) Great Barrier (Aotea) and Little Barrier, and on a good day the Mokehinaus, not to mention the limestone pancake rocks along the coastline – a distinctive feature which can be seen on the coast only here and at Punakaiki in the South Island.
As both a local and public amenity it is priceless. What better than a walk at low tide from the beach at Langs, or Ding Bay or Cove Road to Waipu Cove with the promise of a coffee or ice cream at the other end?
A huge thank you to everyone in the community for your support in building the Vital Link walking and cycling track between Langs Beach and Bream Tail Road.
