Waitakere Ranges, Auckland, New Zealand
Orpheus bay is a safe, clean, secluded and relaxing and small sandy beach in Waitakere Ranges. It's a clothing optional beach. There's nothing like sunbathing and swimming au naturel. It's around 0.26km in length, which is super small, and there are no shades. It is never crowded here. There are no amenities so bring what you need and please don't leave anything behind. Be aware that drinking alcohol, smoking, and bringing dogs is not allowed.
You can go to this beach by car and walking or hiking - note that it's not that easy to get there. There are no lifeguards on duty at the beach, so keep that in mind, but if you’re looking for somewhere quiet to hang out, Orpheus bay is a good place. Be aware that this is a clothing optional beach (so there might be nudist zones). There is parking space nearby. Orpheus bay is usually calm.
There are no outside shower, umbrella for rent, and chairs for rent, so bring your own if you need. Nearby there are no food options, so bring plenty of food and water and remember to take all the trash with you.
The water here is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Stargazing can be enjoyed as well.
January, February, March, December are the best months to visit Orpheus bay and other beaches in Waitakere Ranges, because that's when the temperatures are warm and there's probably less crowd (not guaranteed).
