Clarks Beach is a small town of Auckland, New Zealand. It is in the former Franklin District local government area.
Primarily a beachside rural town, situated within the Manukau Harbour, at the mouth of the Waiuku River, it fronts the harbour and is north facing. It is known as one of the few beaches where scallops can be collected by hand at low tide.
About 50 ha immediately to the east of the existing town was rezoned to allow mixed housing in 2016.[3] The Clarks Beach Waterfront Estate development started subsequently in 2019.
Seagrove aerodrome operated near Clarks Beach during World War II.
