St Heliers is a popular beach on Auckland's waterfront, located along Tamaki Drive east of Mission Bay. Facing northeast, this sandy beach offers an open body of water on the Hauraki Gulf with views of Rangitoto Island.

NE and E winds create pleasant side-shore to onshore conditions. The spot is suitable for intermediates. The beach is very busy in summer. St Heliers village offers many restaurants and cafés. Be mindful of sharing the space with swimmers.
