McCracken's Rest

View looking up west/north along the coast and Mountains of Fiordland.

 

McCrackens Rest is a lookout and rest area on the Southern Scenic Route overlooking Te Wae Wae Bay. Perched on the edge of the cliff you can enjoy commanding views out to sea, right across the bay to the hump ridge and mountains beyond.

 

One of those places everyone must pause their journey to take a moment to take in the views, and of course to take that classic travellers' photo in front of the sign.

 

On a day such as this, one can appreciate the sheer beauty of this amazing coastline. Let me assure you this is relatively rare. As when the south, south westerly weather fronts slam in to this coastline you can barely see 500m in front of you.
