Even nature is unique here. The city will appeal to travelers who enjoy exploring natural sights and stroll in scenic places. It is hard to imagine that there are craters of 48 extinct volcanoes within the borders of the city. Moreover, the water area of Auckland has more than 50 picturesque islands. The water area of the city is also unique. As it was mentioned above, Auckland has access to bays of two seas. The city is situated on a small isthmus, the width of which is no more than 2 km at its narrowest place. To the north of the isthmus, from the Pacific Ocean side, there is the Bay of Waitemata. To the south of it, there is the Manukau Bay, which is connected with the Tasman Sea by a narrow strait.
It is natural that such a beneficial location makes Auckland a popular destination for fans of beach recreation. The choice of suitable coastal areas is simply amazing, and many beaches have become regular locations of colorful festivals. Treacherous weather is among the distinctive features of the city, and the unique geographical location of Auckland is the main reason for that.
