Torbay
Torbay Beach is a picturesque beach located on the North Shore of Auckland, New Zealand. The beach is approximately 16km from Auckland City and is a popular spot for both locals and tourists alike.
The beach is a crescent-shaped, sandy beach, and is bordered by a stunning coastline of cliffs and rock formations. It is relatively small, with a length of around 150 meters, but offers plenty of space for sunbathing, swimming, and relaxing.
Torbay Beach is also a popular spot for water sports such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkeling. The crystal-clear water and abundant marine life make it an ideal location for these activities.
It is also a good spot for fishing, as it is home to a variety of fish species. The beach has a playground and a grassy area for children to play, as well as a small car park and toilets.
