Welcome to Whangaparaoa Peninsula!
Whangaparaoa Peninsula or Whangaparāoa Peninsula is a suburban area about 25 km north of Auckland, New Zealand. It had 30,672 residents in 2013, many of them in the eponymous town of Whangaparaoa on its southern side. It is part of the Hibiscus Coast.
This marine playground (Whangaparāoa translated from the Maori language means: whanga, bay, parāoa, whale) is populated largely by retired Aucklanders and “weekenders” who may swell the numbers to many thousands in the holiday season.
