Onepoto, Kaiti Beach, Gisborne

If you’re heading down to Kaiti Beach, Onepoto is worth stopping at — especially if you’re after a easy walk with serious views. The path runs close to both the beach and the forest trails, so you get a bit of everything without much effort. It’s the kind of spot locals take visitors to when they want to show off what Gisborne actually looks like. Accessible and low-key, it suits pretty much anyone who just wants to be outside and moving.
