Driving to the northern tip of Awhitu peninsula you will discover the historic Manukau Heads Lighthouse. The restored lighthouse overlooks the roiling and moody waters across to Huia and the Waitakere ranges. Learn about the history of New Zealand’s worst maritime disaster, the sinking of the Orpheus, which occurred on the bar just outside the channel below the lighthouse. Looking inland to your right across the Manukau Harbour is Auckland, and the Skytower can easily be seen on most days. Also, you can access the restored historic trail to the right of the car park below the lighthouse. A visit to the Manukau Heads Lighthouse will not disappoint.

Walk the 120 steps to the lighthouse which is more than 140yrs old. The views are spectacular, take something warm to wear, as can be very windy up there.
