Pohutukawa Bay, New Zealand - Tolerated Nude Beach

Pohutukawa Bay nude beach is at the northern end of Long Bay Beach in the Hauraki Gulf, north of Auckland city. To find the beach, drive north of Torbay to Long Bay Regional Park and park as far north as possible, then walk north for 20 minutes along the walkway towards Piripiri Point (see map below). This remote bay gets its name from the Pohutukawa trees which line the shore and provide ample shade.
