Auckland

Located on Auckland’s North Shore, Takapuna Beach is one of Auckland’s gems. Looking out across the water to Rangitoto (Auckland’s largest volcanic island) and other Hauraki Gulf islands, it is the perfect place to take a stroll, indulge in a spot of sunbathing or swimming at this safe beach, enjoy a picnic or dine at one of Takapuna’s numerous cafes or restaurants. There is also a coastal walkway, where you can discover one of the many other beaches along the coastline.

Auckland has a string of harbour beaches on its Eastern shores.

There are harbour beaches on the southern side of the bridge, such as St Heliers and Mission Bay, and further south Bucklands Beach.

On the North Shore as string of beaches provide safe swimming and boating from Narrowneck Beach, to Takapuna beach, Milford Beach, Castor bay, Campbells Bay, Mairangi Bay, Murrays Bay, Rothesay Bay, Browns Bay, Torbay and Long Bay.

Auckland

Another of Aucklands  popular West Coast Surf Beach- approx 25 min from the CBD.

On the black sanded, wild West Coast is the popular Bethell’s Beach, only 30 Kilometres from Auckland’s CBD.
Surfers are attracted by its great waves, and activities such as parasailing and hang gliding are also popular, along with fishing from the rocks, surf casting, swimming, sunbathing and bush walks. The beach can attract quite large crowds (well, large by NZ standards!), both local and international, during the summer months to this beautiful area, but you’re sure to find a secluded spot if needed!

The Beach is on the Western side of New Zealands North Island so is exposed to big surf waves from all the way across the Tasman sea to Australia.

This gives the beach fine soft sand, and strong surf waves. This can make the surf dangerous with rip currents dragging the unwary along the coast, or even out to sea.
