                      These roads lead to Mangawhai Village from which you can then
                      continue to Mangawhai Heads via Molesworth Drive

                                                   Getting Around Mangawhai
                        Mangawhai Estuary is tidal so depending on the tide times it may be
                        more suitable to enter and/or exit at the Village or at the Heads

                        At the Village the entrance point is a public reserve at the end of
                        Pearson Street (see map) From Mangawhai Village you turn into
                        Molesworth Drive (the road to Mangawhai Heads) and Pearson Street
                        is the second on your right (just past "The Hub") There is a reserve
                        with ample parking along a short metal drive at the end of the street

                                 At the Heads there are two entrance points:
                         The Lincoln Street Reserve is accessed from Molesworth Drive (the
                         main road from the Village to the Heads) at the "Naja" corner turn
                         onto Moir Point Road then left into Suffolk Street and follow Lincoln St
                         down to the reserve. This is a safe, shallow great kayaking area very
                         close to the big sandhills but is not as suitable at low tide. There is
                         ample parking at the reserve

                         The North Ave Reserve is further along Molesworth Drive past Wood St
                         (where the Heads shopping area is) The next on the right is North Ave
                         which leads directly down to the water (just along from the boat ramp)
                         There is ample parking at the reserve
