Shakespear Regional Park

Reviewed By kinx81 - Hamilton, New Zealand

The Heritage trail is very nice and passes by a lovely waterfall. Continue on and you will meet up to the Lookout trail (worth doing) and you can walk down to the beach. There’s camping and I bet it gets crowded in summer. It was a beautiful sunny day today, May 30, and perfect for walking. Make sure you get your pic in front of the “frame”.

Stumbled across it by accident but boy what a find. Small, private and great. Lovely for a picnic, swimming or just the views.

Little Manly Beach

Reviewed By JenniferS9665

The beach can be easily accessed by several paths from the neighborhood. It’s a long sandy beach that is kept very clean. Great place for a long walk or run!

Gulf Harbour Marina

Reviewed By shirleyt968 - Auckland, New Zealand

This Marina is in my neighbourhood so I am there frequently whether it is to sit in the sun and watch the world go by or to check out one of the 3 restaurants or have coffee at one of the cafes there. There is also a takeaway fish and chip shop and a very well stock Four Square.
