Pohutukawa Bay Beach is a secluded beach at Okura, Auckland, with a Google rating of 4.6 from 109 reviews. Reviewers describe it as a clothing-optional beach tucked among native bush, reached by a walk along a coastal track. At least one visitor was surprised by nude swimmers after passing the warning sign, so it is worth reading the signs before you go.
A good beach is judged on its water, its sand and how easy it is to reach, as well as on its signs. Secluded beaches often have a longer walk from the carpark, so good shoes and water are worth bringing. Clothing-optional beaches have their own customs, and visitors do best by reading the signs at the start of the track. When you visit a remote beach, check the tide times and leave the area as you found it.
For a quiet swim and a bush walk near Okura, this Pohutukawa Bay beach is a special place to visit.
