Palmers Beach is a beach on Great Barrier Island, in the Hauraki Gulf off Auckland, and its postcode, 0991, is the island's own. Open Locally lists it under beaches, so it is a place to go to the sand and the water rather than a café, shop or hotel, and it sits within the Auckland City council area that covers the island.
The island is reached by air or by boat from the mainland, so a beach here is part of a trip rather than a stop on the way to somewhere else. What it does have is the position on Great Barrier, a place that many visitors come to for its quiet coves and open coastline.
