Best Beaches

Auckland's urban coastline features a variety of accessible sandy beaches along the Waitematā Harbour and Hauraki Gulf. This selection spans from the bustling promenade and fountain at Mission Bay to the secluded, volcanic rock-lined shores of Thorne Bay. These locations offer calm swimming conditions, views of Rangitoto Island, and proximity to public parks and coastal walkways. Each beach provides distinct features, such as the historic villas of Cheltenham or the significant Māori heritage sites at Ōkahu Bay.
