The Kawatiri. Coastal and Heritage Trail — Section 1 Puwaha — Westport to Carters Beach. The concept was put together in 2015, after lots of feasibility studies, surveying etc etc to build this 55km track from Westport to Charleston.
Part of the $9.36million went towards building this section of track which is due for competition in 2022.
SECTION 1 — Puwaha - Westport to Carters Beach is 5.5km long, takes 1.5hrs walking time, was officially opened on December 6th 2020, is the first of 9 sections to be built.

Information panels and shelters along the way provide insights into the history and ecology of the area. The Trail winds through local farmland, an estuary, bird sanctuary, wetlands and historical sites for both Maori and Pakeha settlers.
