Palm Beach Reserve is a park at 51–53 Palm Road in Palm Beach, Waiheke Island, rated 4.7.
Beach parks work differently from other parks. The water and sand are draws in themselves—the simplicity of being by water, the freedom of a beach environment. People come for different reasons: to swim, to walk, to sit and watch, to play with children, just to be outside in a different way. A good beach park gives space for all these activities without crowding them together. It needs access to the water, shade somewhere nearby, places to sit. The rhythm of a beach changes with weather and season: rough and dramatic in winter, calm and inviting in summer. A beach park that's well-maintained and accessible becomes a place people return to regularly, wherever they are on the island.
Palm Beach Reserve offers that kind of access in Palm Beach.
