    A (relatively) hidden slice of peaceful beach just north of Ponsonby. The beach itself was very muddy and laden with seaweed but that gave it a certain charm. My wife braved the sludge to dip her toes in the water! The beach is walkable from north Ponsonby although it's not the most elegant route - mostly residential streets.

    Gorgeous beach located at the heart of city.It is easily accessible and good communication. It is calm quite and serene which can fely easily. Good visit for travellers and you can enjoy good view of harbour bridge.

    What a surprise to find this near Ponsonby. It's a pocket of shore but well worth a visit especially if you need a beach fix from staying in the city.

    This is 1 of a number of fairly small beaches going from point Chev all the way to the harbour bridge. This feels like a small escape and generally is not crowded so it's a nice place to come hang out.

    I don't think this beach is suitable for visitors from out of the area as there is little to no parking.

    Gorgeous tiny beach in the heart of the city, just a few minutes walk from Ponsonby. Always has only a few people around, so nice and private when all Auckland's main beaches are full. Highly reccommend grabbing some takeaways from the local joint on Jervois Rd and bringing it down - just remember to take your rubbish with you!

    Quaint little beach with lots of shelter from the overhead foliage. Adequate hand rails to get down the steps if you have mobility issues, but no ramp.

😠 This use to be a lovely, clean beach around 15 years ago, now its heavily eroded, dirty and the selfish have squeezed in another boat house in this already cramped space. I would rate it 2/10 nowadays. Better beaches elsewhere in Auckland
