Red Beach Downwind Head east from the Red Beach foreshore beside Ngapara Street towards Army Bay on the northern side of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula. This straight coastal crossing leaves the beach behind and ends at the water's edge off Army Bay beach. The listing rounds the distance to 10 km; the image labels 9.51 km and this approximate reconstruction measures about 9.52 km. It is drawn from a map image, not an original GPS recording. The retained start lies on the sand, with roughly 18 m before the mapped water edge, so this is not an entirely offshore track. Both shore approaches need independent checks for tides, surf, reefs, boat traffic and permitted access. Not for navigation.
