New Zealand's hidden gem! A quiet and picturesque place with convenient access to restaurants and grocery stores!

Snells Beach is perfect for the family - picnic tables, two playgrounds, plenty of parking and old Pohutukawa trees which provide shelter on hot days. The beach is very safe for swimming as the water is quite shallow; however it is good to note that you should always check the tide, as it does go out quite far. There is a water ski area available, and also boat launch ramp capabilities. Unfortunately there are no dogs allowed in summer on the beach, however I'm not sure how strictly they enforce this law as yesterday I saw a few dogs in the water with their owners. Toilet facilities and a public BBQ are also available, making this a great summer picnic spot if you want a weekend escape not too far from the bustle of Auckland. read more
