The beach is small, but it is incredibly beautiful and peaceful. It is mostly covered in shells, so you have to be a bit careful when walking over the rocks. The views of the sea are absolutely surreal. This little beach is easily accessible via a sidewalk from the Waikowhai Walkway, just after crossing the entrance of Manukau Domain. Although it doesn't have an official name, it is referred to as "Beach" in the directions. There is street parking available at the entrance of Manukau Domain, but it is time-bound on school days. Unfortunately, there are no public restrooms available.

This beach is pretty basic, with a few barbeques and benches that make it a good spot for parties. The toilets could use some updating. One side of the beach is bordered by lovely trees, and across the road is a park with games and activities for kids. Groups often gather here to party, and cricket games are a common sight.

This beach is absolutely stunning and one of our favorites in Whangaparaoa. It has shady trees and a floating pontoon for swimming, as well as public toilets.
