Waikouaiti

Easy access from Inverary Street, Scotia Street and Stuart Street. Interesting walkways across the lagoon through an idyllic setting where a high number of bird sightings are possible.

The lagoon has to be dredged after high rain to allow excess water to drain into the sea.

Take a walk around Hawksbury lagoon and enjoy meandering through a wildlife reserve for ducks and native birds.

Over 26 species of bird have formed their habitat around this semi-tidal lagoon which has been planted in New Zealand native teees which make for a stunning, peaceful environment to wander through.

The name Hawksbury refers to the lagoon seperating the town of Waikouaiti, from its beach.
