    A great beach to relax, swim, or picnic. It is a wide and sandy beach with plenty of adjacent grass and shade trees to get a break from the sun, if you need it, or to relax in a blanket for a picnic. There is a public restroom easily accessible in the center of the beach. A few restaurants and bars are located on adjacent Tamaki Drive. There is plenty of free roadside parking. We especially like going down to this beach area for long, relaxing walks along the beach and the ocean on the wide walkways. A lot of people bike along these paved walkways, too, and families bring their kids with their bikes or strollers to enjoy the time together outdoors. You can walk from here along the walkway about 10 or 15 minutes to Mission Bay beach, if you would like a bigger selection of restaurants, bars, carry out, and ice cream/snacks, etc. Definitely one of our favorite beaches in the Auckland area!

    Has been cleaned up recently and is beautiful with crystal clear waters. Recommend if you're after somewhere less busy and away from the crowd.

    Great place to swim and walk, tidal swimming and is best done in high tide for swimming low tide can be a long walk to get your head under water. It's like that for most Eastern bay beaches

    Probably one of the safest beaches in Auckland and pretty nice sand after the council cleaned it up. At lowest low tide though you cant really swim as water is too shallow. Best feature is the walkway or bikeway along Tamaki Drive to enjoy the glorious ocean scenery and views to Rangitoto and Browns Island. You can kayak or paddle board over to these islands too, if you are feeling strong, but if you are a novice go with an organised tour from Fergs Kayaks from Orakei Bay.

    Great place to hang out for picnics and beach/water activities such as biscuiting. There's quite alot of really annoying dog walkers though. They all like kissing boys, don't they?

    Lovely beach. Go to Der Metz nearby. Best schnitzel in New Zealand. Seriously !!!

  • 5/5 Rexhep A. 5 years ago on Google
    This beach had a large sandy surface to stay, but there are stones at the entrance water, when you start walking in the shallow water of the beach, the beach should have soft sand even in the beach water when walking to not feel pain on your feet when you walk through the water.

    Pleasant sandy beach with swimming areas. Be aware that it can be difficult to get depth enough to swim at low tide. Changing and toilet facilities on site.

  • 4/5 Paul T. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely beach with fantastic views of Rangitoto and the Waitamata Harbour. Great to stroll along or to enjoy an ice cream. Great place for families to have a picnic or a swim. Shallow, calm waters are ideal for swimming.

👍👍 Grab a coffee and walk down to the beach (St Heliers Home Cookery is great, cakes are superb but it gets busy in the morning). Plenty others. Walk on the boardwalk and chill. Not too busy as many visitors stop at Mission. Moretons is good for a beer and you can sit outside and look over the sea. Sup...

👍👍 Some of the reviews here made me laugh. Giving a beach a one star rating because it doesn't have toilets or you can't find a carpark? Seriously? Go to the mall and stop insulting nature. Yep, it's a steep hike, not much parking and no amenities. That's exactly why it's an utterly charming place (alo...
