Takapuna · Takapuna

Takapuna is the commercial and administrative hub of Auckland's North Shore, set on a narrow neck of land between its popular ocean beach, which looks straight across to Rangitoto, and the deep volcanic crater lake of Pupuke. Wealthy Auckland families built summer houses around the lake in the 1880s, and the suburb grew into a town once a private tramway arrived in the 1910s and boomed again after the Harbour Bridge opened in 1959. Today its centre mixes high-rise apartments, a Sunday market, and a strip of cafes and boutiques a short walk from the sand.
