Anawhata Beach
Overview
The spectacular Anawhata Beach is located in the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park (Te Wao Nui a Tiriwa, The Great Forest of Tiriwa), Auckland. The Waitakere’s are 25km (15.5miles) from North to South. Anawhata Beach has a stunning shoreline that can only be accessed by foot, making Anawhata Beach far less populated than the other more popular beaches in the Waitakere’s.
Keddle House, built in the 1930’s is situated along the beach track to Anawhata Beach. The planted gardens were grown on the steep cliffs and garden escapes by the original owners where many of these plants can still be found there today. The sand is coarse at Anawhata Beach, and the unusual rock formations an intriguing sight for visitors.
Just inland from the beach visitors can enjoy swimming in the nearby river, or cross the river and you will find yourself in Parera Bay, with its unique sand dune, in the shape of a perfect half circle, and a popular surfer’s spot.
