Cockle Bay Beach, Howick - 13 May 2005 

This is a lovely old and quiet location of Cockle Bay, one of five beaches in the Howick area. Howick Township is just two miles away. Watch the sun rise over the Coromandel Peninsular, and see our fantastic sea views to Little Barrier Island (60 miles away), Waiheke Island and many other islands in the Hauraki Gulf. Howick is an old Settlors Village built around 1840 on the eastern side of Auckland,
