The beach & the Tor
Two minutes' walk brings you to Waiake Beach with its landmark Tor just offshore — safe swimming, kayaking and sailing, with views across the Hauraki Gulf towards Rangitoto Island.
Torbay village
Torbay's cafés, restaurants and shops are around the corner, and the Torbay Sailing Club brings the bay alive on weekends.
Further afield
Long Bay Regional Park — beach, clifftop walks and picnic lawns — is just up the road. Central Auckland is about 40 minutes by bus, so the city is a day trip, not a commute.
