Information on Omana Beach

Omana Regional Park lies on a gently contoured knoll from which visitors can enjoy expansive views of the inner Hauraki Gulf.

Located south east of Auckland city, between Beach lands and Maraetai, Omana is an ideal family park with a shelly beach offering safe swimming at high tide, picnic areas and barbecues. It has friendly, pet farmyard animals, which are always popular with the kids.

The park has an intriguing name which is a shorthand version of O-Manawatere ("the dwelling place of Manawatere") a Ngai Tai pa site in the park. Ngai Tai tradition records that this ancestor travelled from the Pacific homeland not by canoe, but by gliding over the waves on a Taniwha.'

How to get to Omana Distance from Auckland CBD: 42 km

Turn off State Highway 1 at Highbrook Drive and bear left. Continue into Allens Road and turn left at Te Irirangi Drive. Turn right into Ti Rakau Drive at Botany Town Centre then left into Chapel Road. Turn right at the next roundabout (1.6km) onto Whitford Road. Travel straight through the next two roundabouts (5.6km). Continue through Whitford Roundabout and follow the Whitford Maraetai road (10km). The park is on the left just before you enter the township.
