Just north of Punakaiki, this little walk is a real gem. It’s only about 15 minutes each way, but it takes you through proper lush rainforest and pops you out at this wild, rugged bit of coastline.

There are cool rock formations, little waterfalls trickling off the cliffs, and sometimes you’ll spot a cheeky weka along the way. Try to go at low tide so you can actually get down onto the beach and have a bit more of a wander. Definitely one of those easy but rewarding stops on the West Coast.
