This 15-minute walk affords magnificent views over Tairua and Pāuanui from a trig point lookout.
From Tairua, drive north on State Highway 25 toward Te Karo Bay/Sailors Grave and turn into Pumpkin Hill Rd immediately to your right at the Sailors Grave Rd turnoff. A small parking area is located approximately 2km down this road. Walk up the wide gravel path to a series of steep wooden steps and a summit with sweeping views of Tairua and Pāuanui. Gaze up towards the north-west to Moehau, the highest peak of the Coromandel. On a clear day views extend to Tūhua/Mayor Island and way down the coast to the Bay of Plenty.
