Auckland Skyline

There’s a particular spot on my morning commute where the city skyline comes into view across the harbor. In the winter it’s usually dark, and the skyscrapers are lit up with multicolored LED lights.

I’ve thought about pulling off to take a picture, and there’s a spot I have seen next to the freeway that would be perfect. But how to get there?

On Sunday afternoon we explored that neighborhood and found the access road and underpass that led to this spot, called Sulphur Beach, and this picture. There’s a public boat ramp and boat sheds and a walking track… but not really anything else in the way of amenities. However, the limited access way and great views make it a popular makeout spot.
