North Beach

I was pretty excited to hear about North Beach finally being a bit (A LOT) closer to home when it opened up opposite Sylvia Park. The store is big and spacious and there’s a lot to look at. They could probably fit loads more stock on the floor but the flow of the store is great. They’ve got a wide range of denim here for women, and since I live in jeans, it was a great sight. North Beach is also home to all your favourite surf brands and you’re bound to find what you’re looking for from wallets and dresses to boardies and watches.
My first visit here was pretty good and I made a very nice investment in a new bag. The staff here seem really chilled out to me and are really nice to talk to, not overbearing but always willing to lend a hand, which is how I prefer to be served when I’m out and about. They also stock my favourite New Zealand brand, RPM, and this branch is one of the only two surf stores I go to in Auckland to check them out, because their service is far better.
Unless you’re after something specific, you could easily spend a good half an hour or so in here just browsing, especially since you’s have to walk across the road from the mall, or drive to get there– may as well make the most of your trip! I for one am looking forward to making a trip here in the winter for some Huffer knits and Wrangler jeans– its your perfect all-​season store.
