Love walking and swimming here, there are quite a few lunch options.I love having lunch and just sitting on one of the benches and watching the water stretching far away. At night I find it quite magical sitting on a rock and staring into the darkness.

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. Super relaxed and friendly.

One of our favorite beaches in the Auckland area! A wide, sandy beach with an adjacent walkway and biking path. There is a grassy area behind the beach with beautiful shade trees, benches, and seating areas ideal for picnics. It’s a great beach for swimming or paddle boarding. There is a boat dock on this beach, also. There is a large park right across the street (Vellenoweth Green) with plenty of open grass for activities or family get togethers, and it’s iconic huge trees.

Nice beach that has a walkway along the perimeter. The walkway goes from the one end of the beach to the cliff face. Quite a large area to swim and just sit on the beach. The Cliff end also has a few rocks that goes out to the sea. There is a playground on one end with a public toilet. The shop are close to the enter of the beach so everything is quite close by.

Great beach, busy as in good weather. Best enjoyed early or park a few blocks from beach.

This is a beach frequent by local residents and less crowded compared to other beaches in Auckland such as Mission Bay. There are a good range of eateries suiting different taste and budget. Family friendly. Best come around high tide.

Walked from St H beach to Mission bay and back this guy was sat at this table next to me he kept moving away and glancing back at me. He eventually moved to the next table . Waitress said I’m sorry sir that table is reserved. So he had to move back. If you feel like this man do me a favour stay home don’t make other people feel uncomfortable

✌️👍🤙👻

Finish area for the Ocean Swim from Rangitoto Island. Lovely beach & beautiful outlook, so will return to chill on the beach.

Amazing beach with great cafes and plenty of food nearby!!

Very nice beach, water can be cloudy sometimes

Nice area to walk/run along the beachfront with a wide boardwalk. Nice sandy beach with few of cafes to relax afterwards with a drink and food

Perfect place for walk 🚶‍♂️ and at the same time enjoy the view 😎 😉 👌 😊

This beach and quaint little village is my fave hangout on my days off - great for beach walks - nice lunch and a pint 🍺 🥰👍💯🥰

Beach with a nice view, saw a huge cruise ship leaving the city too! Plenty of parking.

Very nice to spend some time or just walk by. Has public toilets very well looked after

Nice area lots of spaces to relax

Gorgeous beach, only surpassed by mission bay being so close to it. When the tide is out, the sand isn't really good for playing or walking on. Nice benches and sea front, public toilets need refurbed

Crowded in summer beautiful though

this is such a beautiful little village set right on the beach, very accommodating with great local support 100% recommend

Good place for relaxing, walking or picnic, also good choice for watching sunrise and sunset.

Start walking from St Heliers up to mission bay or beyond. Good place to visit with family, friends or alone.

We love to go their for early morning walks with our toddler and dog. It's not too crowded and there's a playground and many cafés nearby

Very nice beach and ideal to go for a walk or a run- if you're a morning person, then you're in for a treat when out at the beach for morning walks/runs. Gorgeous views from across the waters...who wouldn't love a village right by the sea! 😍

Beach area is beautiful and clean, has plenty of space to park your cars :)
