Out at the easternmost point of the main islands, this gravel road runs to the East Cape Lighthouse. It's a well-maintained mix of gravel and tar-seal, cruisy to drive, with plenty of rugged coastal scenery as you head out to the very edge of the country.

The route winds through remote farming land, so keep an eye out for cattle and horses wandering across the road. No real difficulty to it, just a steady run out to the coast.

At road's end there's a steep walk up the hill to the lighthouse itself, where the views over the coast and out to sea make the climb worth it. A genuinely special corner of the country to get to.
