With spectacular sunrises over Rangitoto Island, it is the ambience of the natural beauty that lends a magical quality to this dreamy coastline. The beaches are sandy and safe for swimming and the small town feel of each bay makes both locals and visitors feel welcome year round.
While visiting The Bays, experience a truly Kiwi experience by enjoying fish and chips beachside under the shade of a Pohutukawa tree.
