				About
				
					Within Shakespear Regional Park on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, Te Haruhi Bay features sandy beaches, safe swimming, a picnic area and many walks along the cliffs, coast and through the scrub-covered valleys. There is a campsite for tents at the eastern end. The park is the home of one of the largest populations of pukeko (native swamp hen) in New Zealand and has good numbers of other native birds including morepork, tui, fantail and shags. A Maori pa site guards the western end of the bay.
