Mission Bay is located about 7 kilometers or 40 minutes walk along the waterfront from downtown Auckland. To walk there, you simply turn right when you get to the very bottom of Queen Street and head along Quay street and just keep going. There is a good safe footpath that is approved for bicycles and walkers that runs all the way. It is a very nice walk or cycle when the wind is calm. You can also take the bus half way to shorten the stroll. The second half of the trip is probably nicer to walk so if you want to take the bus half way it will cost you one stage about $1.80 and the place you get off is outside the new yachting marina that will be easy to spot and will be about 5minutes along the route. From there it's about 20minutes walk further to Mission Bay. Full fare to Mission Bay is two stages about $3.00 getting back from Mission Bay is very easy. All busses on the other side of the road head to Downtown every 10minutes. The fare is two stages. Bus information getting to Mission Bay from Downtown Auckland. The stagecoach bus system provides lots of busses departing
to Mission Bay every ten minutes from downtown Auckland. The busses depart from
Tyler Street, which is a tiny little side street on the right off Queen Street
about 10meters before Queen Street ends at the Wharf. As you turn into tyler
Street you will see about 4 or 5 bus shelters in a row. All of them have busses
that will take you to Mission Bay. Some of the bus numbers that will go to Mission
Bay are 756, 746, 767, the best thing to do is to ask the driver whenever a
bus pulls up to any of the stops and read the timetables. One or two of the
busses will take you through Mission Bay but not along the beach. If you end
up on one of these busses, to walk to the beach will be about 5 or 6 minutes
walk. you will want to get off at the shopping centre and walk to the water.
Ask the driver when to get off, kiwi bus drivers are always happy to help people.

King and about 35 restaurants and shops on the side of the road, its very commercial.

The second stop is just about as good too. Head to the sand and look for a large
trailer with flags, kayaks and windsurfers that will be right on the sand. If
