Red Beach is a suburb and beach on the Hibiscus Coast, Auckland, New Zealand. State Highway 1 currently[update] runs through the suburb,[1] but the majority of traffic travels along the Northern motorway inland instead, as the motorway was redesignated as State Highway 1 when an extension was completed in 2009.
The population was 6,315 in the 2006 Census, an increase of 654 from 2001.[2]
