Cornwallis Beach

A family favourite as it has shaded grass areas right next to the sand so parents can camp while watching the kids. Has access to fresh water, changing rooms and clean public toilets. One downside is that during high tide the beach is covered in sea debris and we have seen jellyfishes coming to the shore. It pays to check the tide before going. Best during low tide.

Went on the Jubilee Walk, and a dip when we got down to Cornwallis Beach. Cool place to take the family when you're feeling like an easy bush stroll, secluded patch for a swim and a picnic is what you need. Good bathroom and BBQ facilities too.

Lovelly place for a family picnic, a good walk or paddleboard when the tide is up. Easy access from West Auckland. Good facilities - bathroom, shower, water fountain and two carparks - but be aware the carparka can fill in quite kickly on a sunny day.

Good spot to stop by and spend sometime at thr beach if your visiting the lower dam or heading to the summit up the road. A lot of people come here for fishing, to launch their boats or to enjoy a picnic.

Stunning beach this, especially on a crisp winters morning. The wharf is at one end, there are toilets, doggy bins, terrain is nice and flat. Sounds of birdsong mix in with the noise of jets taking off, which doesnt intrude somehow. There are picnic tables, nice long flat grassy areas, and several access points. Perfect for a winter stroll.

Very peaceful. We went to the beach with black sand and the locals walking by were so nice. We saw some crabs on shore as well. I couldn’t even take a proper picture of the shells because the the sand was so dark and the shells were so bright.

Amazing beach. Just 30mins drive from Henderson. We saw seal as well.

Amazing picnic areas...beautiful beach....love it!!..an ideal family space where kids can safely enjoy themselves.

Lovely place for a walk, picnic or to take your dog.
