On the North Taranaki coast, you'll discover two (formerly three) 25 metre rock formations known as the Three Sisters. Next to the sisters is another formation called Elephant Rock which, as the name suggests, looks a lot like an elephant. For spectacular views of this beach scene, turn down Pilot Road on the seaward side of State Highway 3, north of the Tongaporutu bridge. Or if you want to see the formations up close, turn down Clifton Road off South Highway Way 3 south of the Tongaporutu Bridge and park in the riverside reserve. At low tide you can walk alongside the river and around the point where you will find the Three Sisters beach and Elephant Rocks.
