The Beach
Point Chevalier Beach is an area reserved for swimmers and non-mechanically powered vessels.
This means yachts, kayaks and other craft without motors are fine within the buoys off the beach, but jet skis and other motorised craft are not allowed. This information is contained in Auckland Council's Navigation Safety Bylaw 2014 and Controls.
