One of the best beaches in the Auckland region. Big Manly Beach is located halfway along the Peninsula on the north side. With a beautiful long sandy beach, children's play area, changing facilities, ski lane for boats and water sports. Two very large swimming zones marked with buoys. There is good vehicle access for launching boats from the beach and plenty of trailer parking. The beach is approximately one kilometre from end to end and is very sheltered from almost all winds. No matter what the tide the beach is sandy all the to the water's edge with very little rocks or obstacles. At low tide you can also walk around the cliff edges to Tindalls Bay and beyond. There's a surf club and sailing school. Big Manly is also the home of activity adventure companies Flying Forwards and Hauraki Adventures.
