Beach Info
Experience a real kiwi gem with family and friends! This sandy beach is located in Cornwallis Regional Park and is just over 40 minutes from the city. Be sure to visit the 200m long restored Cornwallis wharf, the last of the Manukau Harbour's 16 ferry wharves. Take care as there may be strong currents, and surf lifeguards do not patrol this site. Swim within your limits and always ensure you keep within arm's reach of young children. Keep an eye out for boats in the area, particularly if you swim beyond the shallows.
