Bethells Beach Tours

Any visit to Auckland should include a visit to Bethells Beach. This pic is different because green is not a colour normally associated with the black sand beaches of Auckland's west coast. A lot to see at Bethells, the Te Henga walkway (best walk in Auckland), Lake Wainamu including the biggest sand dune I have ever seen.

Find a place to sit, unwind and get lost in the sound of the water hitting the shore at Bethells Beach. If you need a dose of sun and sea, this is the place to get your fix.

This Auckland stretch of coastline is an interesting place to kick off your day of sightseeing. There's loads to see in the vicinity, like Piha Beach, Muriwai Beach, and Muriwai Gannet Colony. Wander around at your leisure at Bethells Beach before making tracks to these other fine sights.

A wonderful introduction, staying at the Barclay in Auckland. Thank you, Liza for making us feel welcome and helping us settle in and helping us how to figure out the parking issue. The unit was super. Grand view of downtown Auckland. Conveniently located, the unit is clean, secure, and a benefit to use a great fitness center nearby. The best hope to stay here again on the future visit.
