Mangawhai Heads Beach

One of the best headland beaches we've found... Beautiful vistas, great carparking, surfing for all levels, new toilets a shower, sunrises and wonderful for family walks and dogs to play on the beach too... Only suggestion to some dog owners, pick up your dog's poo!!

Great beach for both walking and swimming. Stunning view from above.

Absolutely beautiful beach that we enjoyed every day during our stay in the Manghawai area!It’s wide and sandy, and great for walking, relaxing, sunning, surfing, or swimming.Also seems to be popular with local fishermen.There is a large parking area at the beach with benches, restrooms, changing rooms and showers.There are dunes behind the beach, and further down the beach there is a beautiful Cliffs Walkway with trails to walk on for amazing panoramic views.On the far north end of the beach, you will find the Natural Arch.We particularly enjoyed walking down the beach on multiple occasions to the access trail for the Manghawai Heads Cliffs walkway, which is directly accessible from the beach.Amazing scenery and a place that we will revisit again when we return to New Zealand!

Great spot for a beach walk or if you want a great hike enjoy the cliff walk

Stunning beach. Excellent for surfing. Great views. Some seating. Good Car parking area.

An amazing beach with crystal clear water, beautiful scenic, white sand. It is suitable for sunbathing, swimming, surfing and tracking. It is not very far from Auckland Center, takes about 2 hour driving. There is a clean toilet, car park on the site. For those who want to learn surfing can contact to book the training, they offer both private and group course. I really love this beach, would like to come back soon.

Absolutely worth the walk up the hill trek/path. Really beautiful in the morning. If you are driving past, stop for a small walk, 11/10.

Absolutely stunning NZ beach. Beautiful white sand and great surf!! Beautiful walk around the cliff top, return via beach at low tide. Great for photography enthusiasts :)

Super chill and perfect place to walk the dog
