Mairangi Bay Beach

Beach

👍 A great beach for a quick swim. Not the nicest beach in the shore that’s why 4 stars. Sand is not soft nor tidy. This got a nice coastal walkway. But I would pick long bay over this anytime. Ok for a quick visit if you are nearby. Not worth the visit if you are not a local.

Howick Beach

👍 Lovely beach to go for a walk, went for a walk at low tide, walked all the way to Mellon's bay. Lots of bird life running around, and many interesting things on the beach to look at.

4.10 (243 reviews) (~13.49 km from centre)

Piha black sand beach

Beach

👍👍 Words, (nor the endless amounts of pictures and videos), can describe New Zealand's beauty that's seen everywhere. You have to see the nature with your own eyes, hear the endless calls from the multitude of birds that call these islands home with your own ears, and smell the fresh, crisp air with yo...

Bucklands Beach walkway to Half Moon Bay

Beach

👍👍 Beautiful walk alonf the Halfmoon Bay Marina all the way to little Buckland's Beach. The boardwalk was really nice as it goes along the water. Lots of space to walk or bike. It does get a bit tight in some places though. A really nice place to take a walk with nice views over the water.

St Heliers Beach

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...
