Truman Track is a walk through unspoiled subtropical forest where podocarp and rātā trees tower above thickets of vine and nīkau palms.
The track emerges on a spectacular coastline with cliffs, caverns, a blowhole and a waterfall that plummets straight onto a rock-strewn beach. Get spectacular coastal views from a viewing platform. A stairway provides access to the beach.
The start of the track is off SH 6, 3 km north of the Paparoa National Park Visitor Centre in Punakaiki.
There is a small carpark across the road. Take care when crossing.
It is not safe to go onto the beach during rough seas or high tide. Rogue waves are a risk on this beach at all times.
The area above the beach including the area at the high tide mark has large rock overhangs. Do not linger under or near any sections of rock overhang at any time.
All drone use must be authorised by DOC
You must have a permit to fly a drone on public conservation land.
