Sandspit Reserve in Waiuku, New Zealand is a 3.0-acre park that's perfect for families looking to escape the city hustle. This reserve has so much going for it as including golden sand, well-maintained trails/boardwalks, BBQs, slides, jetty, playground etc.

There's also a campground there: Sandspit Beach Motor Camp

From a reviewer (explains it all!) 'What a beautiful hidden spot. Some great stuff put here for the public such as playground, information sign, public toilets, BBQ area, surf slide, wharf, big concrete steps by the beach front for viewing the scenery or yachting'

Recommend mid to high tide
