In Auckland, there’s no escaping the sea: it’s the foreground or background to every view, so you might as well give in, and get out there on it.

The drive from the city around 45 min and the distance is 40 km. There is a huge free car park before the beach entrance. Once you park the car you will hear the sound of the water. Big waves are rolling and making you freeze. I loved the feeling. Approaching water takes a few minutes as there is a lot of black shiny sand to go through. The beach is very long and therefore, heaps of space for everyone to enjoy without interrupting each other.
