It is a drowned river valley which is stretched from Riverhead in the north west to Tamaki River in the east.

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 Auckland isthmus with the north.
Greenhithe bridge - The Greenhithe Bridge was built in 1975 as an alternative harbour crossing, spanning the upper Waitematā from Hobsonville to Greenhithe on the North Shore.
Natural features - Natural features of the Waitematā include Meola reef (also known as Te Tokoroa, meaning ‘a long reef’), a rocky sub-marine promontory.
