Algies Bay Beach

One of the most beautiful and unspoiled areas just north of Auckland, Algies Bay is made up of around 450 residential properties. With many holiday homes here, the beach remains reasonably unspoilt.

For visitors and residents, Algies Bay offers fantastic fishing, swimming, water skiing and other water recreational activities. Excellent safe swimming is available for three hours either side of high tide, with good sand up to the sea-walls on both sides of the main boat ramp.

Algies Bay is the home of Sandspit Junior Sailing and is the centre for local regattas and sailing tuition.

Just over the water from the bay is Kawau Island, made famous by Sir George Grey. Visitors may wish to visit Mansion House by catching a ferry from Sandspit, or when boating in the bay.
