Description:
North Shore beaches are on the Pacific Ocean and stretch from Long Bay in the north to Devonport in the south. They are almost all sandy beaches with safe swimming, and most have shade provided by pohutukawa trees. Takapuna Beach is the most centrally located, with a lovely beach front café at one end. Takapuna is the lifestyle capital of Auckland's North Shore. This vibrant seaside suburb is home to stylish shops, swanky cafes and a bustling Sunday Market.
