Royal Akarana Yacht Club

Royal Akarana Yacht Club is located east of Auckland, on Okahu Bay, just steps from the beach. Going east on Tamaki Drive – a road that curves along the waterfront from downtown Auckland to St Heliers Bay – you’ll reach Mission Bay, a popular seaside resort of Auckland, with a white sand beach across the road from a vibrant strip of cafés, restaurants and bars. It offers fantastic views over the Waitemata Harbor, with Rangitoto Island just across the water. Nearby are the other popular eastern beaches of Kohimarama and St Heliers. In the eastern Auckland suburb of Glendowie there’s the scenic Karaka Bay, with a sandy beach and a nice picnic area. In Auckland you can visit museums and art galleries, enjoy kiwi cuisine at the pubs and restaurants, try some craft beer, or walk to the top of Mount Eden’s volcanic cone for some of the best views in the city. To add some adventure into the mix, try the Sky walk or Sky jump at the 328m high telecommunications tower.
