Beautiful beach with a lot of lovely trees along the shore. You can enjoy the view under the shades of the tree. A recommended beach for swimming 🏊 it's great during when the tide is high and summers are the best times to spend you day here by the beach. There is also a boat ⛵ launch if you wish to get your boat into the waters on a lovely sunny 🌞 day. It could be quite muddy and slippery during low tides. So be careful. There is also a cafe to grab a coffee if you get there during winter or colder weather☕ Playground available for the kids to play. Good spot for a BBQ. Lovely walking area by the park. Toilet 🚻 facilities and car parking 🅿️ facilities also available. If you go during the summer, there is an ice cream 🍨 shop nearby and they do taste superb. So I'd say you get your self an ice cream and enjoy your day. Recommended for family outing and picnics.

Lovely beach to swim at. Water is very clear and very calm, perfect for paddle boarding. Has plenty of shade on the grass area but not so much the actual beach so remember your hat and sunglasses in summer. Hands down one of my favourite Auckland beaches

It’s really really nice beach and park for BBQ, kids play games tolls, lots of car parking and some other facilities like you can swimming here. This place is really clam and quite when you come your mind will be Change. This change will give you refreshments.

Great beach to watch the sunset! Beach is quite shallow.

Great beach ! Friendly locals Has a couple of pontoons to swim out to Change rooms and showers BBQ facilities Can take your dog - off lead too I’m sure .

Not a chaos and so calm.... Loved this beach in the heart of the hustle bustle but yet so serene and cool. On a nice summer day the water is warm for a dip or swim...shallow waters to the shore and it's just amazing to sit and enjoy the views in clean water.... 🏖️ PS: it is an alcohol ban beach!❣️❣️❣️

Beautiful beach but lots of dogs around.

Awesome sand beach in the city fringe, water is nice and clear and warm. I recommend despite the beauty to check safeswim, and be there with the high tide so that you can straight jump in. There are also floats in the water, to jump back into it. The trees give it also spaces in the shade if needed. Be there a little bit before high tide, so that you can secure a carpark.

Not so good for swimming if you walk 1km before chest deep water, but for the park, the playground, the dog walking on the beach, the world-class, award winning gelato & GREAT coffee at the nearby Pt Chevalier Beach Cafe... Well, this is very nearly a 5star experience! ;)

When the tides in mean as best central beach

Very, peaceful and safe beach. Ample parking and other amenities such toilets, benches, and bbq stands.

Very nice, although the water is not so clear and the sand is like a little slimy under the water, has little shells, but nice beach.

Very good beach and park… very recommended for to spend with friends and family. Very relaxing place to wait for the sunset 😍 I loved it

Family place, well located. Shallow water, good to swim on high water, as bottom floor is muddy in low water you need to walk far. Beautiful sunsets

Been there for the first time. It's a very nice beach. Very gentle tide, which is well suited for kids and children. Could see the crowd of all ages. Road side parking, first come first serve basis. Toilets are there, but maintenance is not up to the mark.

Nice beach. There are pontoons that you can swim out to. Apparently sometimes the water smells weird here though.

Nice place. Bus 66 goes all the way from Sylvia park to beach.

Come here often for the dog to run around. Personally wouldn’t swim here tbh. Toilets are all good.

Perfect spot to watch the mesmerising sunset❤️😍

Great local beach, waters were calm and sea breeze was perfect on a sunny day. Playground for kids, plenty of grass area to pitch up a tent for the day. Limited parking but also street parking if carpark full.

Great way to spend your afternoon n see the day turn into a beautiful night. Romantic peace calm serenity
