Scandrett Regional Park, Regional park in Mahurangi Peninsula, New Zealand.
This 44-hectare coastal park contains regenerating forests, rocky headlands, and sandy beaches along the northeastern section of Kawau Bay.
The Scandrett family purchased the land in 1864 and built a concrete homestead in 1886, operating a self-sufficient farm until the late 1990s.
The bay's Māori name Purahurawai refers to sparkling waters, while Mullet Point, known as Mātairoa, was an ancient Māori fortification site.
The park features multiple 1.5-kilometer walking tracks, picnic areas with tables, swimming beaches, and dedicated spaces for dog exercises.
The preserved 1880s farm buildings include an early concrete homestead and cow shed, demonstrating agricultural practices from New Zealand's colonial period.
