It is one of the best beaches of North Auckland.

Castor Bay Beach Reserve seems a quite popular spot for swimmers. My husband and I went to Castor Bay Beach Reserve for a relaxing stroll. We saw some people swimming and fishing there while others enjoyed their stroll along the beach. It worths a visit when you drive past Castor Bay next time.

Great beach for families with young children. Calm waters, soft sand, playground, toilets. Just be cautious of people launching boats and jet skis.

Small beach in Castor Bay. It has a fairly large playground as well as a nice tree for climbing. There is grassy area around the playground for picnics or just to sit on the grass. The beach itself isn't very big but it is nice. It is surrounded on either side by rocks (rockpools during low tide) and if you head north (left) over the rocks it leads to another, longer beach which has a set of stairs that lead up to JF Kennedy Memorial Park. Nice place for a swim, rest or wander.

Want a calm and peaceful place to relax or soul search? You got it right here. Perfect for all.👍🏼

Love this beach, great for swimming, kids, there's a reserve and playground, toilets. Little shade on the sand but lots on the grass.

Beautiful little clean east voast north shore beach. Tucked away, great picnic and facilities with playground, aed r swimming pontoon

Lovely spot for a swim out to the platform.

Great beach and foreshore area with golden sand, lots of shade and generally a nice crowd. Note that parking is very limited, so on busy days you might have trouble finding a park near the beach. Gets nice and deep quickly which is good compared to some beaches in Auckland. There’s also a pontoon which is an added bonus.

Safe beach for all the family, get here early as there are limited parks. Don’t park in the boat trailer parks during the summer months. Highly recommend this beach.

Such a beautiful little beach with nice spots under the trees to have some shade. I like that the beach is not too long and big, so it feels more personal - It’s good to come here with kids because you can see them from everywhere. The platform in the water is fun to swim to and good rocks to climb onto. Public toilets straight at the beach and an ice-cream truck that stops there once or twice a day!

Very nice beach! Not many people go to this beach so it is quite serene and quiet.

Lovely calm sheltered beach, pontoon, playground, shady grassed area.

I do like this beach but it is always crowded. It’s great for kids because of the park and water being so close, lots of grass for picnics and trees for shade. Dogs are allowed here too. Water is a bit icky unless you go far out.

Great place for family time, several big trees create massive shades, playground for kids, you can choose between picnic on the grass or sunbathing on the sand, go for a swim, walk, talk, or simply enjoy the view. Don't forget your mosquito spray, those tiny insects won't leave a spot. And sunscreen of course, this is our must have.

Such a great spot on a sunny day. Not overly crowded, plenty of space to fibd yourself a quiet spot to relax and enjot the view in the sun or shade. Public toilets are available and there is a grassy area as well.

Lovely spot. Great for families with kids. We had a lovely picnic with our kids here.

Great reserve and playground

Great for the kids to play on the play ground, kick the ball around on the grass, climb a big tree, play at the beach and walk around some rocks

good small local beach often crowded on sunny weekend days very fun though when the pontoon is out there in summer i love this beach but the water is a bit icky giving 5 stars because i loved this beach in my childhood

Love this beach, the southern end is magical, good playground for 1.5+ yrs old independent play (though slide is currently under repair), beautiful trees.
