Campbells Bay on the North Shore Coastal Walk / Te Araroa is the most southerly of three pretty North Shore, Auckland beaches between Red Bluff and Tatarata Point. The others are Mairangi Bay and Murrays Bay. All are safe for swimming. The track linking the three beaches below the coastal cliffs is flat, easy and popular.
The sand at Campbells Bay is beautiful, with a golden tinge. A pretty reserve is also bounded by a stream behind the beach at the south end. A feature of the beach was the installation of 6 bronze penguin sculptures. There is a photo here, but they have since been subject to thefts!
Road access to the beach is on Huntly Road, signposted from Beach Road.
