Islington Bay

✨ Hidden gem

Islington Bay sits just 8 miles from Auckland and makes a great first or last stop on a Hauraki Gulf run. You'll drop the hook in calm, sheltered water with a beautiful sandy beach right there to row ashore to. It's the kind of place that's hard to leave in a hurry, especially with a winery within easy reach once you're on land.
