Beaches in Waiheke Island
The northern side of Waiheke is known for its relatively uncrowded white sand beaches, while the southern side beaches are quite tidal and swimming is dependent on the tides.
Oneroa Beach - The main beach, located along the northern side of the town of Oneroa.
Little Oneroa Beach - A small secluded beach at the east end of Oneroa Beach, separated by a protruding cliff wall.
Palm Beach - Similar in shape to Oneroa Beach (complete with protruding cliff wall on the east end that separates a small private beach in Boatshed Bay), it gets its name from the mature phoenix palms at the east end.
Little Palm Beach - A small clothes-optional beach at the west end of Palm Beach.
Blackpool Beach - The south-facing counterpart of Oneroa Beach, lining Blackpool and popular for kayaking and windsurfing.
Surfdale Beach - A zoned-in beach on the southern side of Surfdale, separated from Blackpool Beach by a small, protruding peninsula, which has a scenic unsealed route called The Esplanade linking the beaches. Popular for kitesurfing.
Onetangi Beach - A 1.9�km long, north-facing beach lining Onetangi. For many years it has been the site of the Onetangi Beach Races. Its western (and often inaccessible end at high tide) is clothes-optional.
Cactus Bay - Considered by many Waihekeans as the island's most perfect beach and, with nearby Garden Cove, a romantic place for picnicking. The beach is accessible only by boat or kayak, as its land access was blocked off by a private landowner.
