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.

👍 Great lead in to walk round the mount. Great for young families to take the kids to swim in as it has no surf to speak off. Ready access to downtown the mount which is only a block away. Always a great place to watch the cruise ships and other vessels arriving at the port

👍👍 Great place to visit, it’s really hot, some of them are really too hot. You can rent a shovel for 10$ and 10$ deposit. Just keep in mind, just start digging when you really feel a warm stream in the sand. If you start digging at its not getting hot after the first centimeters, it never will. I made...
