Really good beach that you can drive straight up to. A few tables around and a good set of clean public bathrooms. Has an outdoor shower + water fountain. The water is super warm in summer compared to other beaches in Wellington.
I was surprised to find such a nice place for a walk just off SH59 in Mana. There is a trail which skirts the edge of Te Awarua-o-Porirua Harbour towards the northeast. Well-maintained. Great for walking, dog-walking, pushchair pushing...my nearly 3 year old even found it good going on his tricycle despite some short hilly bits. Will recommend.
A wonderful place for families to explore or swim. Usually really busy in summer highly recommend taking a picnic qnd make it a family outing
Great beach, especially for families with young kids. No waves, shallow and warm. Public toilets and shower available. Lots of pipi and crabs which are fun to play with. Decent fish and chips down the road.
Beautiful beach situated right on motorway in Mana, very clean toilet facilities. Pleanty of car park space. I use it as my stopover when going or coming from long way. Very clean and peaceful.
Beautiful views, great place for swimming, picnic to walking even horse riding. Walking distance for fish n chips shop to enjoy on the seats provided. Even has hot outdoor shower to warm your cockles of your heart
