At 1.87 km long beach, Onetangi Beach is Waiheke's largest sandy beach. For over 100 years the beach has hosted the Onetangi Beach Races, turning the beach into a horse racing course. Annual sandcastle building competitions, The Big Dig (a mass treasure hunt), and many other fun activities utilize this beautiful land along with the average swimmer. The western end is clothing optional, making it perfect for balancing out tan lines. The beach has ample parking and is public transit accessible.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
