Ōrewa Beach, beach in New Zealand
Ōrewa Beach is a beach in the Auckland Region featuring fine gray sand and shallow water that gradually deepens toward the sea. The shoreline stretches for several kilometers and is backed by green hillsides, with the northern end marked by rocky formations.
The area was a traditional settlement for the Maori people long before European arrival. The name comes from a Maori word referring to the curve or bend in the landscape where this beach is located.
The beach is easily accessible and offers plenty of space for activities like swimming, surfing, and picnicking. Parking and facilities are available nearby, so visitors can spend the day comfortably.
