Westport (Kawatiri) stands at the mouth of the Buller River, the West Coast's oldest European town and the hub of the Buller District. Coal built it, hauled down the famous Denniston Incline from the plateau above, and the Coaltown Museum keeps that story alive. The seal colony at Tauranga Bay and the surf breaks around Cape Foulwind sit just minutes from the main street.
