Titirangi Beach

I like Titirangi Beach. The beach is pretty with a nice view, there’s heaps of parking and there’s a huge grass area to play games in. It’s a nice beach to spend the day with the family, a picnic, umbrella and a plastic cricket set are the perfect companions. There’s a sweet playground for the kids to play on, with an excellent set of swings. I’ve never gone swimming here because it’s not my favourite type of water, but plenty of kids like to take a good splash. Like most of the small beaches in Titirangi, make sure you check the tides otherwise it’s all sand and mud, and if you go at low tide make sure you take shoes. Best thing to do though, grab the dog, grab the kids, go at dusk, and grab some fish and chips from Titirangi Village and look across the beautiful Manukau Harbour.

We almost bought a house at Titirangi beach a couple of years ago and when the auction went another way I was devastated.
Titirangi beach is truly incredible. There are two sections for parking and a nice stretch of grass positioned opposite another separate grass field for sports play. There is also agreat little playground with some awesome swings. The playground is reached by going over top of a little creek that runs past the grass area.
The beach itself is really nice too. Although in my opinion it is not a beach for sun-​baking, swimming and spending the whole day chilling though. I see it as more of a beach made for a family picnic, a sweet stroll or a walk with the dog.
Still it is a lovely beach.

If there was a competition to find the coolest beach swing I would have to say Titirangi would win the prize.
My family, and everyone we bring to this beach-​side park, agree that the rope swing which can take multiple swingers is a great ride. The rest of the playground is ok too, lots of equipment for the littlies.
There is a wide grassy expanse adjacent to the park and then there is beautiful Titirangi Beach itself.
This is a tidal beach so if you want a swim it is best to search out the Manukau Harbour timings. Wear shoes if you are walking the beach at low tide because the oyster shells are really sharp.
Speaking of low tide, this is a lovely time to explore the bay and shore line.
We bring our dog and can spend hours here. So close to Titirangi village that the takeaways are still nice and hot when you are unpacking them on the picnic blanket.
We have also had a great time or two in the Titirangi Beach community hall.
