North Shore

North Shore extends along the northern side of Waitemata Harbour, featuring a string of beaches, urban developments, and natural landscapes across 114 square kilometers.

The region transformed from a holiday destination into a residential area after the construction of Auckland Harbour Bridge in 1959, leading to rapid population growth.

The district maintains a strong connection to water activities, with numerous yacht clubs, maritime facilities, and coastal recreational spaces throughout its beaches.

Regular ferry services connect North Shore to Auckland's central business district, while the Northern Busway provides efficient public transportation along the main corridor.

Lake Pupuke, formed by volcanic activity 193,200 years ago, stands as the only freshwater lake within Auckland's metropolitan area.
