The Twin Coast Discovery Highway is an 800-kilometre (500 mi)[1] circular road route of Northland, a region located in New Zealand.[2] Most of the route travels on part of State Highway 1 (SH 1), the longest and major road in New Zealand, but some parts spur off onto other roads. It is commonly used as a tourist route, most of the time to visit Cape Reinga. The name "Twin Coast Discovery" is so named because the route up to and back from Cape Reinga are on different coasts.
