Scotts Landing a Picture Image NZ
Just where is Scotts Landing NZ? Within an hours drive heading North of Auckland and out on the Mahurangi East Coast is where you will discover a small scenic bay, Scotts Landing, tucked in close to the mouth of the Mahurangi River. The beach itself is small in comparison to many but on a hot day when the tide is in this little bay is perfect for a family picnic.

I had been to Mangawhai many times over yet had no idea that this beautiful piece of coast called Te Arai even existed. Naturally the surfie’s had found Te Arai long ago, as I soon found out. NZ has the most amazing coastline and plenty of it. As you head out of Auckland’s calm East Coast Bays and then get an inkling of east coast surf as you pass via Orewa beach.
