Mairangi Bay Beach is one of our favourite beaches on North Shore. It turns out to be a hidden gem! It’s the first time we have visited there on 3/2/2024 and we happened to fall in love with it. The water there was so clean and crystal clear. That’s why there were quite a number of people swimming, fishing and taking a stroll with their dogs along the beach while it’s at low tide period. We highly recommend you to visit there as you will definitely love this beautiful beach.

Excellent beach for swimming, tanning, walking ! Gorgeous views on a nice way! Must take a walk once the tide is low. Interesting geological structures! There is a parking lot but it is very small! Near buy a plaza with shops if you need a snack. This is my fav beach in Auckland!

One of my and Molly's favourite beaches to go to for our morning walk! Quite a bit quieter than the other beaches in the area, and we love that!

A great beach for a quick swim. Not the nicest beach in the shore that’s why 4 stars. Sand is not soft nor tidy. This got a nice coastal walkway. But I would pick long bay over this anytime. Ok for a quick visit if you are nearby. Not worth the visit if you are not a local.

Very popular beach for the locals. There is a wharf which is good for a short walk to have a better view. There is a walkway to the cliff. There is also a public toilet.
