The Loop Walk around the headland provides a little of everything that Mimiwhangata has to offer, shady beaches, rocky shores, archaelogical sites, farmland, native vegetation and a chance to glimpse some bird life including the rare brown teal.

It is an informal route that follows the farm road north from the main car park (please respect the privacy of any people using the lodge). The track makes a complete loop sidling around the hill. You can leave or join the track at any number of places and it affords views down the long, sweeping Mimiwhangata Beach or offshore.

Binoculars are useful for viewing the numerous ducks in the ponds. If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the brown teal.

Mimiwhangata Coastal Park is 48 km from Whangarei and 52 km from Russell. Take the old Whangarei-Russell coastal road, turn-off at Helena Bay and continue on Webb Road. After Teal Bay the road is unsealed, narrow and winding, and unsuitable for towing caravans. Mimiwhangata Coastal Road is after the Ngahau Bay turn-off.
