Golden sand warmed by the Auckland sun. That’s the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Woody Bay on Rakino Island. This hidden gem in the Hauraki Gulf is a true escape. Woody Bay offers shelter from all but westerly breezes. It’s a haven for boaters, with good holding and a sandy beach perfect for landing. Imagine stepping onto the soft sand of Woody Bay. Perhaps you swing from the tree swing our insiders told us about. Maybe you take a leisurely stroll along the unspoiled coastline. Rakino Island’s trails offer stunning views. The clear waters beckon for a swim, a paddleboard adventure, or a relaxing float. Snorkelers and spearfishers will find the underwater world teeming with life. Anglers can cast their lines, hoping to hook into the schools of kahawai known to frequent the bay. And if you simply want to unwind, spread a picnic blanket on the beach and soak up the tranquility. Woody Bay is more than just a beautiful spot. It’s a slice of paradise, a place to reconnect with nature and enjoy the simple pleasures of island life. There are no shops or facilities on Rakino Island, so pack your supplies. This adds to the charm though, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Woody Bay.
