Viaduct basin - The viaduct basin was the site of old  fishing harbour which was redeveloped in the middle 1990’s as a site where the royal New Zealand  Yacht Squadron could host the America’s cup in 1999 and 2003.
Westhaven - The Westhaven Marina, with 1, 800 berths, is the largest managed marina in Australasia, and a symbol of Aucklanders’ love of sailing.
Harbour bridge - The Auckland Harbour Bridge (1, 020 m long) was opened in 1959 to link the isthmus with the north.
Greenhithe bridge - The greenhithe bridge was built in 1975 as an alternative harbour crossing, spanning the upper Waitemata from Hobsonville  to Greenhithe on the north shore
Natural features- Natural features of the Waitemata include Meola reef (also known as Te Tokoroa, meaning along reef) a rocky submarine promontory
