Palm Beach

Named after the mature Phoenix Palms at its eastern end, Palm Beach provides a perfect stretch of sand for a leisurely stay at the beach.

Pack a picnic with local Waiheke bread, olive oil, sheeps cheeses and preserves, opt for a beachside barbecue or a traditional beach feast of great New Zealand fish and chips from the local store. The kids will love the large playground and just messing about with their boogie boards down at the water.

Palm Beach is close to the golf course and zip-line, Sandy Bay is nearby for boat launching and it's just 5 minutes to Oneroa for great shopping, galleries and eateries.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful seaside retreat or adrenalin and adventure, base yourself at Palm Beach and succumb to the irresistible charm of island life.
