Super Secret Cove, location of the entrance is in-between 42-44 Pacific Parade in Whangaparāoa

📍 Once parked up, you’ll see a small garden with a path (like the google maps screenshot).

Follow the path down, and it will lead you to these (newly rebuilt) stairs that take you to the beach.

High tide on a sunny day, is the prettiest time to visit as the clear waters sparkle right up over the rock faces.

Enjoy! This is a locals secret, so please respect it and keep it a gem if you can :)

Whilst there, you could also check out Fishermans Cove which is a popular beach spot, from here you can rent kayaks and explore the coastline (this spot is also pinned on the map for further details)

Whangaparaoa, located just north of Auckland, is a stunning coastal area that offers a blend of natural beauty, quiet suburban living, and access to some of the most picturesque beaches and hidden coves in New Zealand. The peninsula is surrounded by calm waters, with golden sand beaches like Stanmore Bay and Arkles Bay, perfect for swimming, kayaking, and relaxing. For those seeking a more secluded experience, there are hidden gems like the rugged and peaceful Tindalls Bay and the charming little coves around the peninsula’s edges. The area’s rolling hills, lush native bush, and clear waters create an idyllic escape for both locals and visitors, making it a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility.
