The coastal track that takes you through stunning scenery and leads to the iconic Cathedral Cove beach. The walk is relatively easy and suitable for all fitness levels. From Hahei parking lot, down in the town, you can take the shuttle to this trailhead. There is no parking at the trailhead itself here so don't drive up the road as you'll be turned away.

The shuttle bus from the Hahei parking lot to the Cathedral Cove trailhead costs $7 return for adults. Children 14 and under ride for free. The bus service operates daily from 9 am to 6 pm. We just hiked up the road, adding a bit of elevation but doable.

  • Distance: 3.4 km (2.1 mi)

  • Elevation: 140 m (459 ft)

  • Difficulty: easy
