As much as I love the greenery and water views of the suburbs, I love the vibe and busyness of the core!!

[08 APR 2012] : 21°C SUNDAY
[WAIHEKE ISLAND] - PART 4 NOTES: * Waiheke Island is an island suburb of Auckland, located about 17.7 km (11.0 mi) from Auckland (35 minute ferry ride). * The island is the second-largest in the Hauraki Gulf after Great Barrier Island. It is the most populated, with nearly 8,000 permanent residents plus another estimated 3,400 who have second or holiday homes on the island. * It is New Zealand's most densely populated island, with 83.58 people/km², and the third most populated after the North and South Island. It is the most accessible offshore island in the Gulf, due to regular passenger and car ferry services and some air links. * Waiheke Island has become known as New Zealand's "island of wine," home to a dedicated group of winegrowers who have successfully matched the maritime climate and ancient soil structures to the selection of classical grape varieties to produce red and white wines with distinctive varietal character. There is no less than 30 vineyards on the island. * Waiheke Island has many scenic beaches all around the island. They include: Oneroa Beach - The main beach, located along the northern side of the town of Oneroa. Little Oneroa Beach - A small secluded beach at the east end of Oneroa Beach, separated by a protruding cliff wall. Palm Beach - Similar in shape to Oneroa Beach (complete with protruding cliff wall on the east end that separates a small private beach in Boatshed Bay), it gets its name from the mature phoenix palms at the east end. Little Palm Beach - A small clothes-optional beach at the west end of Palm Beach. Blackpool Beach - The south-facing counterpart of Oneroa Beach, lining Blackpool and popular for kayaking and windsurfing. Surfdale Beach - A zoned-in beach on the southern side of Surfdale, separated from Blackpool Beach by a small protruding peninsula, which has a scenic unsealed route called The Esplanade linking the beaches. Popular for kitesurfing. Onetangi Beach - A 1.87 km long, north-facing beach lining Onetangi. For many years it has been the site of the Onetangi Beach Races. Its western (and often inaccessible end at high tide) is clothes-optional. It has sandcastle building contests annually; participants have a few hours to build their creations in soft sand which is free of shells and suitable for digging. Cactus Bay - Considered by many Waihekeans as the island's most perfect beach and, with nearby Garden Cove, a romantic place for picnicking. The beach is accessible only by boat or kayak, as its land access was blocked off by a private landowner. * The island is becoming an enclave for the rich and famous with many contemporary mansions under construction. It is rumoured that Bill Gates has bought land here. image hosted on flickr
