<p>Hiflyer: </p> <hr /> <div>Palm Beach, also known as Mawhitipana Bay, is on the northern side of Waiheke Island and is a popular destination for locals and holiday makers. The beach, which offers safe swimming, takes its name from the mature phoenix palms at its eastern end. Facilities include toilets, free gas barbecues and a children's playground.<br /> [[Image:Palm Beach 1940s.JPG|frame|right|Palm Beach 1940s]]<br /> Little Palm Beach, a secluded bay at its western end, is famed among nudists. The dress code is optional. Halfway down the beach is affectionately known as &quot;The Seal Colony&quot;, where a group of long time naturists of a certain age hold court daily, except in inclement weather. A &quot;life time&quot; member, Mike, is often in the &quot;office&quot;, the little clearing halfway down the beach. He will introduce new-commers to the &quot;locals&quot; and allways knows the water temperature!<br /> [[Image:Palm Beach and Nani Island.JPG|frame|right|Palm Beach 1990]]<br /> <br /> &lt;gmap lat=&quot;-36.777908&quot; long=&quot;175.043085&quot; zoom=&quot;2&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot;&gt;Map Title&lt;/gmap&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Beaches]]</div>
