Kohimarama Beach — Attraction in Ōrākei

A great beach to relax, swim, or picnic. It is a wide and sandy beach with plenty of adjacent grass and shade trees to get a break from the sun, if you need it, or to relax in a blanket for a picnic. There is a public restroom easily accessible in the center of the beach. A few restaurants and bars are located on adjacent Tamaki Drive. There is plenty of free roadside parking.

There are convenient facilities like changing rooms and toilets nearby, which make the visit even more enjoyable. We also appreciated the outdoor shower to rinse off after swimming. Plus, the on-street parking is close by, making it easy to access the beach without hassle. Overall, a great spot...
