Perfect beach for a dog get together🙌 check the dates, cause in high summer off lead dogs are only allowed at certain times. The water is nice and warm & it’s a pleasant spot to play. Kid and dog friendly, toilets easily accessible and a spot to buy coffee. Big enough to go for a walk in the beach too

I’m not a fan of swimming at this beach (Stanmore Bay and Arkles Bay are much nicer) but I absolutely love early morning walks here. It’s almost 6km end to end return from the bridge to the Scout Hall return, or take a small detour to pick up a coffee on the main street). Check the tides before you go as at high tide some parts are cut off. (If you get there and it’s high tide just nip across the road to the estuary walk).

My home, love loving here and enjoy the surroundings and little town centre. It has everything you need and more nice restaurants. Always one of my fav breaches

The weather is great. This is a must visit place for you to get out of town from Auckland. you can enjoy both the white sand long beach with blue sky. plus there are so many beach front delicious cafe and restaurants. also a nice stopover town when you drive to Northland

Such a lovely beach for everyone . Great for walking, watersports and just admiring the sea. Nice cafes and restaurants. Quite a busy spot by NZ standards....but thankfully not like a busy beach in the UK 😊

Such a lovely kiwi beach, the water is warm to dip your feet in, I would recommend swimming between the flags though as boats and currents can be unpredictable. All in all, a great summer location with so much room to spread out and have a good time

Beautiful beach opposite a range of delicious restaurants. The beach gets really busy around the holidays and is popular with surfers. There are multiple entrances to the beach towards the end of every street which is nice when you want a more private picnic. There are kids play areas, exercise equipment and a camping ground towards the start of the beach.

We have had our Photoshot on orewa beach .. we loved it 💕 .. was far from our own place but worth paying off for photoshot on this beach

Lovely. Calming and soothing. Clean and well presented. Nature at its best and also an example, really, for many other places in the world when it comes to beaches, beach access roads, beach parking areas, beach alleys, and so on. Very, very nice, thank you everyone involved in emphasising and maintaining such natural beauties.

Beautiful beach opposite a small cute town. Very beautiful view from the hillside houses facing the Seaview.

Beautiful beach with some lovely local cafes for lunch. Lots of op shops if that’s your thing. Very family friendly

A very lovely beach to visit. Plenty off play area for the kids. Got surf life savers at least thru the summer months

Limited parking up town... where the food shops are... Love the shore usually quiet so that's a plus ➕
