Park in the Bethells Beach carpark beside the surf club at the end of Bethells Beach Rd.
Only attempt this trip if the tide is within 3-4 hours of low tide.
Do not attempt to cross the Waitakere River if it is in flood or the tide is high or the water more than 25 cm deep.
Be careful of large waves surging up onto the rocks, beach and especially surging into the Erangi Pt sea tunnels.
From the carpark walk down to the beach. Do not attempt to cross the Waitakere River when in flood or when the tide is high. Only accessible when tide is within 3-4 hours of low tide. On the beach choose a shallow place to cross the Waitakere River (usually 10-25 cm deep) and walk further up the beach to the rocks at the north end. Later take the track over the sand dunes on the point over to O'Neill Bay. Descend over the wooden stile to the beach and walk up the beach to the rocks at the north end. 2-3 hours return.
