Smugglers Bay Loop Track, Motukaroro Island, Whangarei
At the end of the Urquharts Bay road there is the DOC reserve and several walkways. The Smugglers Bay Loop Track takes you to the old gun emplacements (about three kilometres of easy walk).
Conservators from Auckland City Gallery have recently restored the original gun site drawings in one of these concrete bunkers. It is quite an interesting 360ยบ view of the area.
From the emplacements, you may walk through the coastal forests over the top of Mount Lion, using Te Whara Walkway to get to Bream Head Historic Reserve, where there are further emplacements and Guano Island.
