This is the best beach on the north shore. Takapuna Beach is surrounded by shops, restaurants, and cafes so when you're done swimming and sun-bathing you can head straight for a drink in your togs!

A 45-minute drive from Takapuna but well worth it for the rugged landscapes and views. Hike up Lion Rock or just take a walk along the coast.
