This beach is a fantastic place for a picnic since it's not very crowded, but it's not ideal for swimming due to the muddy and shell-filled water.
We enjoy visiting the beaches in East Auckland, including the serene Howick Beach. In december The beach was pleasantly uncrowded, allowing us to fully appreciate the peaceful ambiance and the gentle ocean breeze. If you find yourself in the vicinity or reside in East Auckland, we wholeheartedly suggest paying a visit to this charming beach.
What an amazing discovery! It was my Partner's first time experiencing a beach with seashells, and he was absolutely enamored by it!
Waiomanu Beach is a hidden gem in East Auckland. My husband and I watched the sunrise there in Jan 2024. The beach is incredibly beautiful and tranquil, with hardly anyone around. We highly recommend watching the sunrise at Waiomanu Beach if you live in Maraetai or are driving by.
