Sightseeing
Great beaches. You can usually see sea lions lazing about on the rocks along the Mole and, on rare occasions, you might see a NZ fur seal. From the Mole, you can look across to Tairoa Head and, if you like getting up early enough, you could go there on good mornings for the beautiful sunrise. The drive to Aramoana from Port Chalmers is sometimes narrow and windy (as in, lots of bends), a beautiful drive nonetheless.
