Te Pukatea Bay – an easy 1 hour return walk (2km/1.2 miles, elevation 60m) takes you to this enchanting golden-sand cove, one of the most picturesque bays in Abel Tasman National Park. Its azure waters are ideal for a swim before you amble back to Anchorage.
Pitt Head Loop Track – 1 hr 30 min return (4km/2.5 miles, elevation 80m) from Anchorage through sunny Manuka forest to Te Pukatea Bay via Pitt Head, the site of an ancient Māori Pa (fortified village). The panoramic views of the coast and some evidence of earthworks are all that remain of this strategic site.
