The Manukau coastal walkway to Green Bay is a harbourside walking route reached from 15 Taunton Terrace in Blockhouse Bay, Auckland, following the Manukau Harbour shoreline towards Green Bay and holding a 5.0 Google rating. Coastal walkways like this reward a little planning. The Manukau is a shallow, tidal harbour, so the shoreline changes character through the day — broad mudflats at low water, waves on the cliffs at high — and tide tables are worth checking before you set out. Rain can leave clay sections slippery, so sturdy shoes are sensible, and exposed clifftop stretches offer little shade, making sun protection wise even on grey days. Regulars tend to walk early or late, when the light across the water and the birdlife on the mudflats are at their best. For Blockhouse Bay locals, it's a rare thing: a stretch of wild harbour coast within easy reach of Taunton Terrace.
