Auckland Achilles Point, New Zealand, is located on the easternmost side of Mission Bay, where bathing, fitness trails and leisure and entertainment bar and dining gatherings can enjoy the seaside scenery. It is named after the Achilles Light Cruiser. The second ship of the Royal Navy's Leander class light cruiser, which served in the Royal New Zealand Navy during World War II. It was built in Berkenshid, England, and then officially entered service in 1933. It was leased to New Zealand in 1936 and later officially joined the Royal New Zealand Navy in 1941. In 1939, Achilles joined sister ships Ajax and Exeter in the battle of the La Plata Estuary, and became known as the ship. The Royal New Zealand Navy installed the SS1 Shooting Control Radar for the construction in June 1940, making Achilles the first Royal Navy ship equipped with radio control radar.

    Cape Achilles is well located, with a great view of the bay and Auckland, and for me a nostalgic trip to see a memorial to the soldiers who served on the Royal Navy's ships leased to the Royal New Zealand Navy in World War II.

    The ship was famous for its river fighting, and after returning to the Royal Navy, the ship was sold to the Indian Navy, regrouped into the Delhi Navy, and after the Indian Navy joined the training queue, it enjoyed the treatment of officers.

    This is the seaside park bath named after the name of the Royal New Zealand Warship. Living here is a successful local crowd. The charming seaside villas, fitness trails, and bathing beaches are worth a visit.

    A classmate of mine emigrated to Auckland, New Zealand a few years ago. He kindly invited our family to visit there this summer. At his appointment, our family came here during the summer vacation. After visiting several famous attractions, he told me that the sea was definitely going to see in Auckland. On the weekend, he drove me to Cape Achilles. At first, I thought the name was strange, and friends told me that the beach was named after a warship. There are many such bays in New Zealand. Play guide: the sea here is very blue and the sand is very soft. We walked on the beach and could see many villas and mansions by the sea, most of whom lived in successful people. The city's rich people live in these seaside villas, which are beautiful and have gardens, and a beautiful view from a distance. A friend told me a place we had to go, and following in his footsteps, we found a slab of three marbles on the beach in front of us. On both sides of the marble, the history of the beach was written. The middle piece is the unique Royal New Zealand logo, and we take pictures in front. The most exciting project in the sea is surfing. At first we could only lie on the board like a bear, and after several attempts we could finally stand up. At this time, I found that the scenery of the island in the distance is very beautiful. Warm reminder: Tickets: Free opening hours: open all day, the wind is very strong, you have to wear thicker clothes.
