Pacific Road Beach is a public beach at Te Arai, on the Rodney coast north of Auckland, reached from the public carpark at the end of Pacific Road. Public access there has been a matter of community concern. A local group, Save Te Arai, was set up in 2016 after proposals to remove that carpark, and it has since followed plans for the shoreline from developers and Auckland Council.
The shoreline is a place of wildlife as well as sand. The group's website mentions fairy tern breeding season among its concerns, and it has run submissions on proposed sand mining and on the regional park management plan. The website's news items date from 2016 to 2021, so check any issue before relying on it. Open Locally lists the beach under public beaches, and it sits within the Te Arai area of Rodney.
