Parking at Westhaven Beach and the Marina
Westhaven Beach is at 79 Westhaven Drive in Auckland, near Ponsonby, with parking managed as part of Westhaven Marina. Visitors may use designated public spaces marked with white lines, while the marina applies a P120 time restriction to those spaces (westhaven.co.nz).
Parking at Z pier has been temporarily reduced because of projects at Westhaven Marina, and motorhomes and caravans are not permitted there (westhaven.co.nz). Yellow spaces are reserved for berth holders with parking permits, so they are not a general option for a beach visit (westhaven.co.nz).
White-Marked Spaces Around Westhaven Marina
The most relevant official parking option around the site is the marina’s designated public parking, identified by white markings and subject to P120 restrictions (westhaven.co.nz). This places the useful spaces among the marina’s working waterfront rather than in a separate beach-only facility.
Drivers should keep the marina’s colour system in mind when choosing a bay. White spaces are for visitors, whereas yellow spaces are reserved for permit-holding berth holders (westhaven.co.nz). Z pier is a less dependable choice while parking has been temporarily reduced by projects (westhaven.co.nz).
