The North Shore is located in the Auckland area of New Zealand. It borders to the east the Hauraki Gulf, to the west West Auckland, to the south Waitematā Harbour and in Central Auckland. For the best time to explore the walk from Maungauika/North Head to Takapuna and Milford, it's best to go with low tide. It's possible to do most of the journey near the water at that time of day. The trip will pass along Cheltenham and Narrow Neck Beaches, through St Leonards Bay and around to Takapuna Beach. This stunning trail takes you on a walk that journey's past significant coastal architecture and geological sites all against a stunning coastal backdrop. It starts at Takapuna Beach and takes about 2 hours to complete at normal walking pace. Stopping points are highlighted for your convenience.
