Howick Beach

This little, sandy beach in East Auckland has calm waters, making it ideal for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. At low tide, rock pools appear along the shoreline, attracting people looking for small sea creatures.

The beach is backed by a grassy reserve with picnic tables and a boat ramp, making it a popular spot for families. The surrounding area has a mix of modern and historic homes, and nearby Howick Village has cafés, shops, and markets that add to the beach’s relaxed atmosphere.
