Auckland Black Sand Slope Park, a hidden treasure that amazes visitors

Lake Wainamu is a hidden gem in Auckland! As soon as you arrive, a super soothing little stream comes into view. The water is shallow, and walking through it while playing along the way is incredibly relaxing. Exploring further leads to the stunning black sand dunes, steep and spectacular. Sliding down from the top feels like being in a natural sandboarding park—exciting and fun. When exploring, be sure to follow the orange markers to avoid getting lost. It is highly recommended to wear sandals; otherwise, the sand and water will leave you "a mess." The whole trip is not difficult but full of scenery. The sunlight shining on the black sand, combined with the lake's reflections, creates a beauty like a fully filtered photo—every shot looks like a masterpiece. If you are in Auckland or planning a trip to New Zealand, don’t miss this hidden treasure. Come check it out and start an unforgettable adventure!
