A small beach at Mellons Bay, on Auckland's eastern coast, close to Howick and listed under the name Howick secret beach. The Howick Village Association describes Mellons Bay Beach as popular with locals, with views of Rangitoto and Waiheke Island. It is a good spot for walking the dog, or for sitting in a car at the top car park and watching the view. Toilets are on site, and a path leads up to Bleakhouse Road and the Macleans Reserve bush track.
The listing gives 38 Marine Parade as the address. The Association's page does not describe a beach by that name, and it gives no opening hours, swimming conditions, parking spaces or dog rules, so none are given here.
