Exit Motorway at Oteha Valley Rd and carry straight on until you hit the Beach Road. If coming from Browns Bays simply take Beach Road to the north. Go past the Torbay shops and carry on straight. Follow sign to Long Bay Regional Park to the right about a km after the shops.
Like the other beaches to the south it is quite sheltered so check the wave forecast.
Nice walk, lovely beach and trail north of the beach + park, cafe, etc.
