🇳🇿 Auckland’s breathtaking Half Moon Bay! Step into a postcard-perfect sunset paradise⛵️
Speechless from the beauty of hundreds of sailboats + flocks of seagulls filling the sky! The relaxed vibe of New Zealand is all hidden in this treasure bay~
📍Location: Half Moon Bay, Auckland
🌅Best viewing time: 1 hour before sunset (around 7:30 PM in summer / 5:30 PM in winter)
🚗Transportation tips:
1️⃣ Drive and navigate to "Half Moon Bay Marina" (25 minutes from downtown)
2️⃣ Take the Howick bus line to Half Moon Bay station, then an 8-minute walk
✨Soul-stirring scenes:
- Hundreds of white sails glowing golden like scattered piano keys
- Perfectly captured moment of seagulls flying across the evening glow!
📸Two top photo spots:
1️⃣ Pier extending walkway (sailboats in the foreground + sunset in the background)
2️⃣ Eastern rocky beach (low angle shots of waves + sailboat silhouettes)
🍴Recommended seaside restaurant:
The Flatwhite Café (by the pier)
Must-try green-lipped mussels! Pair with Sauvignon Blanc while watching sailboats return to port for a super chill experience~
💡Tips:
• Bring a telephoto lens! Use live mode on your phone
• Windbreaker essential (you know the bay’s wild winds)
• Fresh seafood available at the Saturday morning market
