    Beautiful walk to Mission Bay ! Very scenic here with lovely fountains and the Pohutukawa trees are so awesome this year . There is a lovely children's playground here by the car park and lots of places to eat.

    Nice big beach with lots of areas to have a picnic on grass and/or sand conveniently located just across the road from many restaurants etc. Lots of trees for shade too. Only downside bout the beach itself is the cracked sea shells spread out throughout the sand that make walking bare foot a little difficult.

    Great place only 10 minutes with the car from Auckland city center... nice beach also with the a great park and ideal spot for picnics, kids playground and doing sports... also nice restaurants in the area, fast food places, coffee shops and a few bars... I used to go there very much especially at night when it’s not crowded and enjoy my time... on weekends you can see a lot of people having fun at the park, the beach or at the shops nearby... I like his place very much and you can see that authority does a good job because always it’s clean and enjoyable...

    Ideal for sunny day with kids on the beach. Nice play area. Fountain is impressive. Great food outlets. Recently opened island gelato is the icing on the "cake"

    Lovely beach, nice location. Reserve was clean and well maintained. Parking was a challenge even though it was not very crowded.

    Beautiful Beach minutes from the central city. Quiet on such a gorgeous day. Stunning views of the Waitemata Harbor. Great for beach-combing. Avoid the expensive shopping center. Pack a picnic.

    Beautiful views at Mission Bay especially the big Pohutukawa Trees and there is a playground also near the carpark and it has a lovely fountain

  • 5/5 K V. 6 months ago on Google • 87 reviews
    What a lovely place for the kids to play with a variety of playground options and all covered for protection from the harsh summer sun. Mission Bay is a fantastic place to visit day or night.

  • 5/5 Cassidy M. 3 months ago on Google • 20 reviews New
    Stunning walk, great designated bike and walking sections on the walkway, coastline stretches out so there's plenty of space to swim if you don't wanna be at the main beach, always best at high tide on a calm day! Wear you suncream

  • 5/5 Wendy R. 3 years ago on Google
    Busy park and beach on the weekend. Parking is easy to find before noon for the weekends. Nice views and well maintained. There is kayak/paddleboard for hire on the beach. Easy to access restaurants and shops.

  • 5/5 Virangi M. 2 years ago on Google
    A wonderful spot to take in the natural surroundings while still being close to the conveniences of city life. On one side, there is the ocean, and on the other, there are nice eateries. There is ample parking, and you may spend some quality time there.

  • 4/5 Carole C. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely place to unwind and relax for the family. Beach to swim, play sports, children playground or just put out a mat or pitch a tent and relax

  • 5/5 Jayvee O. 7 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    A good, nice, clean and wonderful place to spend your time. Kids will surely enjoy the beach, as the water is only low-level

  • 5/5 Melonie N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to relax. Pathway along the beach for walking and cycling. Great views. Selection of eateries in the main street. Gold beer at the Good George café

  • 4/5 Alastair C. 6 months ago on Google
    A nice place for a walk, but often crowded and hard to find a carpark. Best to park further along the Auckland waterfront and walk. Lots of places to eat. Beware of crazy e-scooter riders.

  • 5/5 Tracy H. 2 years ago on Google
    Was a lovely night out with the kids.. we don't like coming down during the day, too many people

  • 4/5 Paul KH P. 4 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Dhananjaya G. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the best beach i have ever visited. Go there with your loved ones and feel the sun shine. Also there are so many sea food store around the beach And some water sports. Great way to spent a evening in summer.

  • 3/5 Desmond T. 3 years ago on Google
    Good park to relax at, beach on one side a number of coffee shops and eateries across the road. Finding a carpark is a bit hard in the weekends very popular place to grab a bite have a catch up and be seen.

  • 5/5 Jude B. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome place, one spot which you can really visit anytime of the day. I consider this the central point of mission bay. Great access to the beach, good park for group sports, restaurants, ice cream outlets, fast food, everything in one place! A lot of people spend the day here with their families, it's also a good place to start a relaxed bike ride. A place I highly recommend anyone stopping by or even a casual sunday drive, you won't be disappointed!
