As you can see from the pick, we managed to snag a granite table to stack our gear. I love this blue bag, complete with sticker-like gibbets that match my shoes, too!
We even got to have a neat swim, although I went out with my hat as I didn't want to get my hair too wet and to ensure I didn't get sunburnt.
The neat thing was that the beach was only metres away, and our car was parked closely behind. This beats going to the city beaches with cramped parking and waiting for ages.
The other thing about some of the Auckland beaches is that it's best to check the safety of your local beach, as I've seen social media posts about beaches with sea lice on them. You can check it out at: safeswim.org.nz
This definitely beats some of the swimming out in Samoa as at some local beaches, you have to pay $50 SAT Samoa Tala (currency) to swim there, or at some local rock pools, it's $20, although free if you know someone. We have our beach beside our home but it needs a little TLC (tender love and care) to bring it up to scratch with some who have dumped their rubbish nearby but that's another story...
