Out east of Invercargill, the road runs down to Waituna Lagoon, a wetland of international significance on the Southland coast. Easy enough run to get there, with the option to stop for a walk along the lagoon edge or carry on down onto the beach for a cruise along the sand.

The road in is pretty cruisy, but the beach section wants sensible tides and a bit of care on the soft sand. Good one for a relaxed day out in one of Southland's special coastal spots.
