Karioitahi Beach, located west of Pukekohe on the Manukau Heads Peninsula, is easily accessible and offers a wide, flat stretch of sand between the surf and high tide line.
Driving Notes
• South of Karioitahi Beach Road: The beach is smooth and open, ending at an impassable rocky outcrop. Be cautious of uneven sand near this point.
• North of Karioitahi Beach Road: The drive winds between scattered rocks, adding some challenge
The beach is popular with 4WDs, motorbikes, fishers, and families—please respect other users.
Permit Required:
Since September 1, 2015, Auckland Council requires a permit for vehicle access to Karioitahi and Muriwai beaches. Permits are free, valid for one year, and must be obtained for each vehicle.
