BEACHES
Pristine sandy shores, calm tidal bays and historic swimming wharves around the peninsula.
Cheltenham Beach: Shallow, calm and popular with families, with beautiful Rangitoto views.
The Cove, Cheltenham: A tucked-away spot next to Cheltenham Beach via North Head. It's quieter than the main stretch, and a local favourite.
Narrow Neck Beach: Broad sandy beach with an active boat ramp, sailing club and beachfront café.
Torpedo Bay Beach: Picturesque bay along the waterfront walk, next to the Navy Museum.
Stanley Bay: Peaceful bay with an iconic swimming wharf for high-tide plunges.
Secret Cove, Stanley Bay: A hidden little pocket of sand the locals keep quiet about, worth the find.
Devonport Beach: Village waterfront beach right by Windsor Reserve.
St Leonards Beach: A quiet residential beach on the Takapuna side, calm and rarely crowded. Access via Saint Leonards Road.
Takapuna Beach: The long white-sand flagship. Cafés, swimming and Rangitoto straight ahead.
