The Mole (sea wall)

"Long drive, I like it. Nice beaches either side of the mole. Long walk out and didn't get to the end coz there were two seals on the walkway so opted to turn around and head back. Saw Fairy terns, shags and seals on the rocks towards the end of the mole hanging out. Awesomely clear water."

"Unbelievable stench from the seagulls. Spotting some seals. Amazing shells on the beach beside, but don't get caught out by the tide."

"Must walk until the end to see seals. Saw a few penguins swimming too. Around 5:3pm+"

"Aramoana = "Pathway to the Sea" Indeed !!! A truly gorgeous beach with amazing scenery and vibrant wildlife. The bounty of beautiful seashells that wash up here is absolutely endless, as is the picturesque serenity that surrounds the area."

"Aramoana Beach is just awesome. There's a cliff with a hole in it there. Huge beach and easy to park there. The views are pretty and amazing scenery with the cliffs that rise up behind you. Good surf area. There's also the option of doing (some of) the Heyward Point walk that takes you on top of the cliff looking down on the beach. Amazing change of perspective of the same place."
