Focus on ARMY BAY - Shakespear Regional Park

Okoromai Bay Bed & Breakfast.

Peter went swimming this morning at Army Bay, he has had a rather stressful time at work this week and his comments on entering the house this morning were "The water was crystal clear, I was the only one swimming, it was so serene it felt spiritual, I now feel refreshed!" Army Bay is directly behind Okoromai Bay on the opposite side of the peninsular, it is a great place to swim and have picnics and is the first Bay you come to as you enter Shakespeare Regional Park at the end of Whangaparaoa Road. Another option is to walk across the park from Okoromai Bay you can make your way through wetlands, which is a great place to find birds nesting.
