Discover Waiomanu Beach
Waiomanu Beach is located on the Pōhutukawa Coast of Auckland, between Maraetai to the northwest and Magazine Bay to the southeast. This beautiful beach is a quieter spot than Maraetai for those seeking to swim and relax, with stunning views of Waiheke Island and Ponui Island across the Tāmaki Strait.
A Tranquil Beach Experience
Stretching approximately 300 metres, Waiomanu Beach features a gentle curve framed by rocky points. The beach is ideal for swimming, with its white to golden sand and the shade of pōhutukawa trees enhancing the experience. Despite its proximity to the road, the beach has a peaceful atmosphere, even on busier days. A high tide wall protects the reserve and road behind the beach.
Access and Amenities
Parking at Waiomanu Beach is limited, which helps keep numbers down. There are no facilities available, so it's a good idea to bring a picnic and your swimming gear for a day at the beach.
How to get there
Waiomanu Beach is accessible from Maraetai Road and on foot via the Maraetai Beach Path. This short walk connects Maraetai and Magazine Bay, providing a safe route away from the road. Due to limited beachside parking, you might find it easier to walk.
Other places to visit around the Pōhutukawa Coast include Beachlands, Ōmana Regional Park, Ōmana Beach, Umupuia Beach and Duder Regional Park.
