Governors Bay Foreshore Walking & Cycling Track

Governors Bay Foreshore Walking & Cycling Track

Starting at the parking area at the end of Jetty Road, there is a foreshore "road" that is now a walking and cycling track between Governors Bay and Allandale.

This road was first constructed in 1857 by the prisoners of Lyttelton Prison (1851-1922).

Initially it was a bridle way only, later widened for the coach service that began in the early 1880s.
