Westport is a town in the West Coast region of the South Island of New Zealand. It is on the northern bank and at the mouth of the Buller River, close by the prominent headland of Cape Foulwind. It is connected via State Highway 6 with Greymouth, 100 kilometres to the south, and with Nelson 222 kilometres in the northeast, via the Buller Gorge. The town is thought to have been named after Westport, County Mayo in Ireland, although the choice of name was no doubt also guided by the town's location. The population of the Westport urban area was 3,900 in the 2006 census, an increase of 117 from 2001. Including the surrounding area of Orowaiti, the 2006 po...

The Best Attractions In Westport

1. Cape Foulwind Walkway Westport
Cape Foulwind is a prominent headland on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, overlooking the Tasman Sea. It is located ten kilometres west of the town of Westport. It was previously named Rocky Cape by Abel Tasman, the first European to visit it, in 1642. The present name was bestowed upon this promontory by English explorer James Cook in 1770 after his ship Endeavour was blown quite a distance offshore from this point. Tauranga Bay at Cape Foulwind is home to a fur seal breeding colony, which is accessible by a well-maintained walking track. That track, the Cape Foulwind Walkway crosses over undulating farmland, and along the edge of a scenic coastal escarpment. The walkway extends from the Cape Foulwind Road to Tauranga Bay.Starting from endemic Hector's Dolphins, several dolph...

2. The Old Ghost Road Westport
The Battle of the Somme , also known as the Somme Offensive, was a battle of the First World War fought by the armies of the British Empire and France against the German Empire. It took place between 1 July and 18 November 1916 on both sides of the upper reaches of the River Somme in France. The battle was intended to hasten a victory for the Allies and was the largest battle of the First World War on the Western Front. More than three million men fought in the battle and one million men were wounded or killed, making it one of the bloodiest battles in human history. The Battle of the Somme was fought in the traditional style of World War I battles: trench warfare. The trench warfare gave the Germans an advantage because they dug their trenches deeper than the allied forces which gave them...

7. Buller Adventures Westport
The Buller Gorge is a gorge located in the northwest of the South Island of New Zealand. The Buller River flows through the deep canyon between Murchison and Westport. Land Information New Zealand lists two sections for the gorge, Upper Buller Gorge and Lower Buller Gorge. State Highway 6 runs alongside, but considerably above, the river through the gorge. The Stillwater - Westport Line railway also runs through the gorge. New Zealand's longest swingbridge at 110 metres in length spans the Buller River 14 kilometres west of Murchison. That area also offers rides on a zip-line across the gorge as well as several short bush walks. The gorge and river both take their name from Charles Buller, Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and director of the New Zeala...

8. Habitat Sports Westport
9. West Coast Surf Westport
Karamea is a town on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. It is the northernmost settlement of any real size on the West Coast, and is located 96 kilometres north-east by road from Westport. There is no other connecting road to the town - the road north ends at the Kohaihai River some 20 kilometres from Karamea, at the south western end of the Heaphy Track. The Karamea River flows past the town to the south and into the Karamea Bight, part of the Tasman Sea.The population was 423 in the 2006 census, a decline of 18 from 2001.The name Karamea is Maori - despite local jokes suggesting it was named by an Italian for his love - and is thought to either mean red ochre or be a corruption of Kakarataramea, the smell of speargrass leaves. The large bay formed by the curve of coastlin...

15. Monteith's Brewing Company Greymouth
Monteith's Brewery Company was originally a family-owned brewing company until it was bought by DB Breweries. It continued to brew its beers on the West Coast of New Zealand until DB decided that the cost of keeping production there was no longer viable. The Greymouth brewery was closed on 22 March 2001, but reopened four days later following a public outcry. The beers are now produced in Auckland, and Timaru as well as Greymouth. On 25 July 2012, the newly transformed Greymouth brewery was officially reopened after 18 months of refurbishment.The brand Monteith’s has existed only since 1990 and the connection back to the original Stuart Monteith, who didn’t even name his brewery after himself , is tenuous at best. In 1927, Monteith’s Phoenix Brewery was one of five – in Reefton, Ho...

A Guide to Westport, New Zealand

I spent a few days in Westport, New Zealand during my travels. While in this rainy West Coast town that I witnessed many people passing over. I really enjoyed it and wanted to share it with you.

There is the beach and all the water sports and activities that you would expect. Westport is know for being a good surf spot in New Zealand so take to the waves if you're up to it.

There are also paths and bushwalks if you prefer to stay on land like the Millennium Walkway and the Cape Foulwind Walkway. And of course, there is the seal colony to see near Cape Foulwind.

Much love and happy travels

Cape Foulwind Walkway in Westport - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year – Backpacker Guide New Zealand

Day 102: Today we are hitting one of New Zealand’s most popular short walks, Cape Foulwind in Westport! It’s our activity of the day out of 365 Days: 365 Activities!

Yesterday - Day 101 ➜

Tomorrow – Day 103 ➜

30 Tips for Backpacking in New Zealand ➜

-- About this video --

Today we are in the West Coast town of Westport in the South Island! Nearby is the popular New Zealand short walk, the Cape Foulwind Walkway!

We drive just about 10km out of Westport to find the one-way Cape Foulwind Walkway. You can either begin at Tauranga Beach or at the opposite end near the lighthouse. We begin at the Cape Foulwind Lighthouse.

The Cape Foulwind walk takes us through low-lying coastal vegetation toward the Cape Foulwind Lighthouse. Information panels tell us stories of the history and geology of Cape Foulwind. The Cape Foulwind Walk is super well-maintained with tar-sealed and wide walking track making it extremely accessible. We follow the Cape Foulwind track which gives amazing views of the rugged West Coast and its coastal cliffs along the way.

As we reach Tauranga Beach, we see a huge viewing platform for a seal colony. Down on the rocks below we get an awesome view of the Cape Foulwind seals.

As Cape Foulwind is a one-way track, we return the way we came making it about 2-hours long.

So what do you think of Cape Foulwind? Is it a New Zealand short walk you would do?

New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The nation geologically contains two principle landmasses—the North Island, and the South Island (or Te Waipounamu)— and around 600 littler islands. New Zealand is arranged about 1,500 kilometers (900 mi) east of Australia over the Tasman Sea and around 1,000 kilometers (600 mi) south of the Pacific island ranges of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. In light of its remoteness, it was one of the last grounds to be settled by people. Amid its long stretch of separation, New Zealand built up a particular biodiversity of creature, parasitic and vegetation. The nation's differed geology and its sharp mountain tops, for example, the Southern Alps, owe much to the structural elevate of land and volcanic emissions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most crowded city is Auckland.
