Just a little bit down from Days Bay. Not as crowded as other beaches nearby, and there is a playground and a bbq and toilets there too. Not a sandy beach, but mostly rocks and shells. Great views though. Heaps of people come here to kayak and jet ski.

Beautiful calm beach for swimming in summer. Dog friendly beach. Parking and toilet available. I think you can get here in a bus too. Watch sunset and sunrise and ferries go by. Some people were also casting fishing from roadside and wharf. There is a 4 Square supermarket and restaurants nearby too. Worth visiting.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Rona Bay Beach (North island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Rona Bay Beach (North island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Rona Bay Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
