Exploring Flat Rock at Tāwharanui Regional Park
Flat Rock is a prominent feature located on the west side of the main beach at Anchor Bay within Tāwharanui Regional Park. This spot is ideal for those seeking panoramic views, as it provides sweeping vistas along the beach and out towards Te Hauturu O Toi, also known as Little Barrier Island.
Walking and Access
At low tide, you can walk between the two sections of Flat Rock. Alternatively, an easy path from the car park leads to the grassed top of the larger section, making it accessible for a leisurely stroll.
How to get there
To reach Flat Rock, head to Tāwharanui Regional Park and park at the Anchor Bay car park. From there, it's a short walk to the rock, either directly from the car park or along the beach at low tide. While in the area, consider exploring other attractions within the park, such as its beaches and walking tracks.
