Onetangi Secret Carpark

Overview

Onetangi Secret Carpark. I call it this because the signage to the carpark is minimal and trees now cover most of the visibility of the parks from the road. This carpark is pretty much always available to park in. The parks are free, shade from trees block the sun on the cars in the afternoons. It is also a 60 second walk from Onetangi beach.

Only about 12-16 parks total, so it could easily become too busy if many people start using this hidden gem.

Note: Access into this carpark is only one way, you enter were the parking sign is.

2025 Update

The trees are growing up on this carpark making it harder to see from the road, it is still here and available to use.

The best way to access this parking lot would be coming from challenge and turning right at the parking sign 200-300m down the road.

Truck and boat parking not really available at this parking lot, but you might find some smaller trucks parked in here. It would probably be best to try find a long park over by Charlie Farley’s
