Parks & Nature

Lovely walkway that takes you through native bush to Kauakarau Bay. If you turn left at top of drive, walk about 100m you will see track.

Rocky Bay is a lovely spot to spend an afternoon. Make sure you bring snacks and water as local cafe is not always open. If you part up after the boat shed (a little further down the beach) you will find a nice swimming spot :)

Hekerua Bay is one of the more secluded of Waiheke's northern bays, being only accessible by foot or boat. A track to it can be found at adjacent Sandy Bay, or walkers can access it down the leafy paper road known as Te Aroha Ave, the entry of which is on Karaka Rd. There is also a sealed path called the Zig Zag path down to the beach from the corner of Queens Drive and Goodwin Place. The top of the path is easily identifiable by the letterboxes. The beach is mainly pebbly, and has a large rocky outcrop in the center at low tide, which larger boats should keep an eye out for if they want to land here.
