Auckland has a new rooftop bar at Takapuna Beach — the perfect place to watch the America's Cup.
Waterbourne Beach Festival is opening The Long White rooftop, which will provide two levels for eating, drinking and dancing with views of the racing from the shoreline.
The rooftop can hold 300 people and launches on February 27 and will remain on Takapuna Beach until March 21.
Event organiser Laurence Carey says Waterbourne is the only event of its kind, involving everyone with a passion for the water.
