Men's Bay is listed as a tourist attraction on Rotoroa Island, in the Hauraki Gulf off Auckland. It has a 5.0 rating on Google.
A good island attraction makes the journey part of the visit. Rotoroa Island is reached by ferry, so the first thing to check is the sailing times, including the last boat back, and whether the weather is likely to affect the crossing. Expect to be on foot, so wear sturdy shoes and bring water, sun protection and a layer for the wind, as there may be few shops once you are there. Regulars know to pack food and take all rubbish home, and to keep to marked tracks, as island habitats and wildlife are easily disturbed. Beaches and bays are at their best on calm, clear days, and weekdays outside school holidays are usually the quietest. Allow plenty of time so you are not rushing for the return ferry.
For anyone planning a day trip from Auckland, Men's Bay on Rotoroa Island is a peaceful spot on the water.
