Nihotupu bästa stränder

The walk to the beach through the reserve is fairly easy. The beach itself is stunning and offers plenty of space for picnicking. There is limited parking available and a playground for children. Additionally, there are toilets that remain open in the evening. However, the water is not suitable for swimming and there are numerous shells scattered about. As you enter the reserve, it branches off into the Manukau Coastal Walkway, which provides walking and hiking trails.

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.

Otroligt vacker strand! Karekare-vattenfallet ligger bara en kort 5-minuterspromenad från parkeringsplatsen. Vägen som leder till stranden är behagligt kurvig, så det är tillrådligt att köra i lugn takt eftersom mötande fordon kanske inte syns i kurvorna.

This beach is truly amazing. The car park is quite small, as is the alternative one. However, there are plenty of places to play and seek shelter from the sun. The picnic spots are absolutely beautiful. It's important to be cautious of the Pacific Ocean waters, as is typical of the West Coast. My favorite find was the oyster heart 😊.

The beach offers stunning views, a spacious grassy area perfect for picnics, a small playground for kids, public restrooms, limited parking, and is a great spot to unwind.
