Goat Island is a great spot to head for a few hours or the day.
Go out snorkelling or diving in Goat Island Marine Reserve or book a trip on the glass bottom boat.
Be aware, there may be strong currents, so stay within your limits and always go with a friend; it's more fun, and you can keep an eye out for each other.
Long-term monitoring by Auckland Council at Goat Island has consistently identified good water quality. However, please exercise caution following heavy rain in this area.
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.
