Kiwi feeding at dawn on Ocean Beach

Description

Dinghy to shore at this beach to access a loop track to Ocean Beach where kiwi can be spotted feeding in the sand at dawn and dusk. If you want to be ashore after 6pm or before 6am you need a permit from DOC as this is a kiwi protection zone. We went ashore at 6am in February and spotted kiwi as soon as we crossed over to Ocean Beach (just 5 minutes from this landing site). The loop track says one hour but is much shorter if you aren't stopping to watch kiwi. The track can also be accessed from a wharf which the tourist boats use.
