I have no idea why the website won't accept the Waitakere Ranges but this is where I mean!!!! (I don't know what the Auckland Centennial Park is LOL) Total contrast to city- beautiful native bush. Check out the various parts of the Hilary Trail. There is a visitor centre where you can get info.

Great beach. Also try Orewa (further North). East coast beaches have white sand and are pretty calm and family friendly.

Also Bethells and Muriwai Beaches. These beaches have black sand and wild surf- these are dangerous beaches so stay between flags- tourists are always drowning!
