Waipu Caves: These fantastic caves are filled with stalagmites, stalactites, and glowworms offering a free alternative to the ever-popular Waitomo Caves.These lovely waterfalls are a short walk through bush from the parking spot on Waipu Gorge Road, in the hills west of Waipu, and are great to swim in on a hot summer's day. Piroa Falls: Most people around Waipu know these waterfalls as the Waipu Falls, so you might get a blank look if you ask the direction to the Piroa Falls.It's a very impressive view, with the bay, farmland, hills, Whangarei Heads and Mount Manaia in the distance, and the Hen and Chicken Islands out to sea. Brynderwyn Lookout: Driving north from Auckland, the first glimpse of Bream Bay is from the top of the Brynderwyn Hills, the natural border between Auckland and Northland.Stewart Watson / 500px / Getty Images Other Things to See and Do The swimming at Langs is fine but there is often a very steep drop off after you enter the water, creating powerful, dunking waves. There are some very expensive houses in the hills. Langs Beach: Over the hill from Waipu Cove, Langs Beach is at the southern end of Bream Bay, and is really a small bay in itself.Families, in particular, love the Cove because the small river at the southern end of the beach and where it meets the sea is a calm, shady place for kids to play without being bowled over by large waves. Waipu Cove: Like Ruakaka, Waipu Cove offers golden-white sands, great swimming and surfing, and beach patrols in the summer.On other parts of the beach, families and visitors who want to keep their clothes on can swim and play without disturbance. The nudist part of the beach is a few hundred feet to the right of the campground. Uretiti is also famous as a nudist beach. There's a popular Department of Conservation (DOC) campsite here. Uretiti Beach: Uretiti Beach is south of Ruakaka Beach, and best reached by turning off at the highway.Swim between the flags, if there are any. It's ideal for swimming and surfing/bodyboarding and is patrolled in the summer by surf lifesavers. Ruakaka Beach: The surf beach at Ruakaka is a sweep of white sand south of the mouth of the Ruakaka River.The views across to the Whangarei Heads are close and impressive, although the country's only oil refinery nearby is a bit unsightly. They're good for a paddle and a stroll, and for kids to play. Marsden Point/One Tree Point: The beaches around Marsden Point and One Tree Point, at the north of Bream Bay, are very calm and have a large tidal range because they are at the entrance to Whangarei Harbour.

If you can’t shoot the driver outright, chase him down in your spare ride and use a vehicle takedown.Sabal in Charge If Sabal’s in charge, he’ll redirect you to a fuel truck at one end of a bridge, surrounded by two rocket-launcher sharpshooters, a mortar, and at least five regular soldiers.A frontal approach is risky, thanks to the rocket launchers, the mortar, and the narrow bridge. This will leave just the chemical truck, which should be slowed by the wreckage. Pulling a spare vehicle or two into the road will also help (but keep one aside to use).As the convoy approaches, blow the technical in front with one C4, then the pickup in back with the second. Once you reach the site, place two C4 charges in the road, spaced a few car lengths apart so one won’t set the other off when it detonates. By blowing something up.Amita in Charge If Amita is in charge, she’ll send you to ambush and hijack a chemical truck.
