Castor Bay is one of the smallest North Shore, Auckland beaches on the North Shore Coastal Walk / Te Araroa and is safe for swimming. There is a small grassed reserve next to the beach. At the north end is Rahopara Point, an old pā site. The nearest cafe is near the corner of Beach Rd and Castor Bay Rd to the north.
You can access the Castor Bay beach along the coast from either direction or on Beach Rd. Note that you need to wade across Wairau Creek at low tide if you come from Milford Beach to the south.
