Pink Beach
Auckland, New Zealand
About
Pink Beach is a hidden treasure nestled on the eastern coastline of Shakespeare Regional Park, on the Whangaparāoa Peninsula. While it may not boast expansive sandy stretches, this unique spot makes up for it with fascinating rock formations and abundant rock pools that teem with marine life. Nature enthusiasts and curious explorers will find themselves captivated by the diverse ecosystem that flourishes in these intertidal zones.
Reaching the beach is part of the adventure – visitors need to park at Te Haruhi Bay and embark on a scenic walk through the park. The final approach descends via a wooden staircase, offering glimpses of the rocky shoreline below. While the journey might seem like a compromise, the trek through Shakespeare's native landscape adds to the experience, building anticipation for the discovery ahead. The lack of facilities maintains the beach's unspoiled character, encouraging visitors to embrace its natural state.
