The Pouto Peninsula is one of Northland’s best-kept secrets, a place of ever-shifting sands, petrified kauri, fossilized leaves and an eerie past full of mystery and intrigue. The Peninsula forms the northern side of the entrance to New Zealand’s largest and most treacherous harbour, the Kaipara. Mysterious names such as the Valley of the Wrecks and The Graveyard pay tribute to a seafaring history that left 150 shipwrecks entombed in the dunes and sandbars. At the end of the road, NZ’s oldest wooden lighthouse at Pouto Point is a sturdy 3 storey testament to the one time busy passage of sailing ships carrying timber from the region’s ancient kauri forests.
