Starting 2 km before Te Henga (Bethells) beach car park this route provides an easy wander along a shallow sandy stream, past towering sand dunes along to Lake Wainamu. Lake Wainamu is a rare impounded lake, formed by sand damming the streams. Enjoy a swim and keep following the track around the northern side of the lake to its head where Wainamu stream cascades over Waitohi (baptismal waters) Falls. Return back around the lake the same way as you came.
