Milford Cruising Club Inc

Milford Cruising Club Inc is located north of Auckland, in the Castor Bay Area of the Hauraki Gulf. Each of the many islands around the gulf offers a different experience, from the black lava Rangitoto island and its summit views to wine tasting on Waiheke island, hiking on Kawau and exploring the rugged Great Barrier Island where lead to secluded natural hot springs and historic kauri dams. South of Milford Cruising Club is Devonport, a historic suburb of Auckland whose streets are lined with wooden colonial villas built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The adjacent naval base at Torpedo Bay features a museum and at the nearby North Head you can explore the old gun emplacements and underground connecting tunnels which have been restored. For many years North Head was a closed defense position but now many people picnic here, enjoying the wide views over Auckland, the harbor and the islands of the Hauraki Gulf. A track around the base of North Head passes along a rocky ledge to a small secluded beach before going to Cheltenham Beach.
