From 500m before the East Cape roadend a walking track climbs to the lighthouse. There are supposedly 700 steps (I lost count. Twice) but compared to what lies ahead it’s an easy walk. 10 mins each way. The lighthouse is not the eastern most point in the NI mainland – that lies on the beach below, accessible from 2km back up the road. However, it’s a great view, and for me was a good symbolic point to start a North Island or Raukumara traverse.
