There are several walks on the Omokoroa Peninsula, with the most popular being a short walk from the Domain, through the Gerald Crapp Historic Reserve and past the Wai-Huri Pa site, to Bramley drive. A much longer walk of about 9 km continues from Bramley Drive and along Hamurana Road to a coastal walk alongside the Omokoroa Golf Course, across the peninsula to the the Cooney Reserve and heading back along the waterfront to the Domain. The coastal walk alongside the golf course is not passable at high tide, but there is an alternative track along the northern and eastern side of the golf course.

The longer walk is not particularly well marked, especially around the golf course. No markers show where to leave the waterfront and head alongside the golf course up to Kayelene Place. The walks are described in a booklet available for download from the Western Bay of Plenty District Council web site.
