Te Henga - Bethells
Te Henga or Bethells Beach is another beach in the Waitakere Ranges well worth a visit.
The wild and wonderful Bethells each is a typical west coast, black sand beauty and makes for a spectacular escape. The surf patrol means you can swim in summer. Remember to stay between the flags.
Stroll over Erangi Point headland at the northern end of the beach to neighbouring O'Neill Bay.
