Kaitarakihi Bay is a beach with fine, pale sand and makes a quieter and less-crowded alternative to the nearby Cornwallis beach. Gorgeous views of Manukau Harbour can be had from the beachfront, and welcome shade is provided by a copse of overhanging pohutukawa trees. On the road down to the beachfront, visitors can stop off to see Spragg Monument, a stone spire erected to honour a local pilot killed in the First World War. Facilities include parking and toilets.
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.
