About Whangaparaoa

Whangaparaoa, lying just north of Auckland, is Maori for "Bay of Whales". It’s a very special place that we, the community of ‘coasties', are keen to enhance and protect for our residents, visitors and future generations.

This website was designed to help you make the most of the coast by making it easy to find and access local community services, support local business, be in the know about local events and happenings so that we can collectively create a thriving coastal community.
