Overseas Paddlers

Below is some information we have put together to assist with the planning of your trip.

The Takapuna Beach Cup takes place on Takapuna Beach. Takapuna is one of Auckland's best beach towns and offers visitors great accommodation, cafe's, boutique shops, a modern shopping centre, excellent bars and restaurants, all within walking distance to the event. The beach and grass reserve is a haven for locals and visitors, who flock to picnic, swim and play, all while taking in the stunning views of Rangitoto volcanic island and other Hauraki Gulf Islands.
There is a scenic coastal walkway that runs from Takapuna Beach to Milford Beach for those who would like to stretch their legs after a long journey.
