Cullen Point Lookout


Cullen Point curves around to the northeast of Havelock, sheltering the marina from the rest of Pelorus Sound. A 10-minute walk loops up and around the headland overlooking the village, the surrounding valleys and the Sound. Another track provides a hour-long loop along the coast. Both start from a car park 3km from Havelock along Queen Charlotte Dr.
