Potikirua Road

4WD track in the Bay of Plenty region

Potikirua Road is an easy gravel coastal drive in the eastern Bay of Plenty, more about the sea views than any technical going.

A simple gravel road tracing the coastline in the far eastern reaches, where the country is quiet and the sea is never far away. The going is easy and suits most vehicles, with the appeal being the scenery rather than any technical challenge.

As you follow it along you'll catch some good coastal views filtering through the trees that line the way. A relaxed, low-key drive rather than a destination route.

To be fair it doesn't really lead anywhere in particular, so think of it as a pleasant detour to soak up the coast rather than a way to get somewhere. Take your time, enjoy the outlook, and turn back when you've had your fill.
