I was at Ocean Beach but a bit confused on which roads to take (with respect to the law)... the track is going along the coast and after a panel with a notice "experienced drivers etc" I didn't drive too long as I couldn't guess what will come

Along the coast, I also saw nice places to explore.. but again not sure if you can put your wheels over there
And finally, I didn't take the Wharekauhau but perhaps it is a good one?
Comments/suggestions are welcome.
