Make sure you go to the end of the walkway, not just to these coordinates! Please BYOP. History says that two lovers leaped off the point, as they were not permitted to marry each other. Enjoy the views out to the islands in the Bay, back to Waitangi/Paihia, and over to the Black Rocks. If you are walking from Russell, make sure you visit the Flagstaff on the way and find that cache too (at the sundial).
