This beach in the Auckland area is one of our favorites! It has a wide sandy beach with a walkway and biking path nearby. Behind the beach, there is a grassy area with shade trees, benches, and seating perfect for picnics. It's a fantastic spot for swimming or paddle boarding, and there is even a boat dock. Across the street, you'll find Vellenoweth Green, a large park with plenty of open grass for activities or family gatherings, as well as some iconic huge trees.
