Coastal Walkway

New Plymouth
All year round

This award winning walkway is paved, with some gentle slopes. It is excellent for walking, running, cycling, skateboarding, skating and scooting.

Most people would be able to walk 4-6km/hr on the Coastal Walkway. There are multiple access points. The Coastal Walkway has been designed to suit the greater coastal landscape. The design uses robust and simple materials with strong lines and textures to stand up to, and reflect upon, the character of the west coast. The promenade is designed without an edge, to accentuate the sense of being on the edge of the sea, while the curved seawall and location of the path provide protection from the waves. The seawall is also punctured by finger piers, which are designed for people to view and enjoy the open coastline. See the iconic Len Lye wind wand along the way.
