I have notes from many moons ago that you can walk out on the spit here! From the drone shot of this bay, it looks epic!

Wai-o-Taiki Bay is a chill suburb in Auckland, New Zealand, known for its laid-back vibes and natural beauty. The park features Tahuna Torea, a 25-hectare wildlife reserve with mangrove lagoons and swamplands perfect for bird-watching and peaceful walks. The name "Tahuna Torea" means 'gathering place of the oystercatcher', reflecting the area's rich Māori history. With lush vegetation and serene trails, Wai-o-Taiki Bay park is a hidden gem for nature lovers and those seeking a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
