This hidden nudist gem, located just below the St. Helier’s cliff tops, offers a sheltered cove with a stunning city skyline backdrop, making it one of the most popular beaches in Auckland. While it is an official nude beach, it is poorly signposted, leading to reactions of surprise or amusement from visitors unfamiliar with the nudist scene. The beach is particularly busy, making it less suitable for naturists who are new to the experience. Most nudists settle on a small strip of grass, especially when the tide is high. Beyond the rocks, known as Gentleman’s Bay, is a more secluded spot where some gay men venture for private moments and exploration.
