Winstones Cove

Found this little gem online and had to see it for myself. Drive down Gray Crescent and see if there is any road parking available after the residents. It isn’t too hard to find the entrance either– especially with the sign on the gate before its downhill concrete driveway.
Cute little bench sitting on the concrete just before the golden sand and noticed a short concrete stair to the left with a flat square bit. Couldn’t venture out to see it myself. I’ve never been very good at checking tides so it was quite high-​tide when I went so I could also only do a bit of the coastal cliff/​rock walk around this little secluded beach. I’m sure at low tide you could make it all the way around to Waiake. A very gnarly tree on the right hand side that you have to contend with but has a neat rope swing. Got very warm exposed to the full elements but the bay itself is shaded by pohutukawa so has best of both worlds.
Owners of nearby houses have their own private access and saw a few of them going for a swim. Definitely need to do that next time as well as finish that wrap around walk. Definitely worth a check in
