Mulberry Grove

Mulberry Grove Beach offers a tranquil coastal retreat on Great Barrier Island (Aotea), conveniently located just a 6-minute drive or scenic 40-minute walk from Tryphena Wharf. This sandy beach exemplifies the unspoiled beauty that makes Great Barrier Island such a special destination.

The beach's position provides stunning views across the Hauraki Gulf, while its relatively easy access from Tryphena Wharf makes it a convenient spot for both day visitors and island residents. Despite this accessibility, the beach typically maintains a peaceful atmosphere, characteristic of Great Barrier Island's relaxed pace of life.

The sandy shoreline is perfect for swimming and beach walks, while the surrounding area showcases the island's natural beauty with native bush meeting the coastline. The clear waters make it ideal for snorkeling during calm conditions, offering glimpses of the marine life that inhabits these waters.

The journey to the beach - whether by car or on foot - is part of the experience, offering visitors a chance to appreciate the island's scenic beauty. The 40-minute walking option provides an opportunity to experience the island's natural environment up close, with views of the coastline along the way.

True to Great Barrier Island's off-the-grid character, Mulberry Grove Beach offers a genuine escape where visitors can experience one of New Zealand's most pristine coastal environments while still being within reasonable reach of the island's facilities at Tryphena.
