New Zealand’s chief metropolis enjoys the distinction of having the largest Polynesian community of any city in the world. And Auckland’s 1.6 million occupants constitute 33 percent of the country’s entire population. The center of the city occupies an isthmus, just over a mile wide at its narrowest point, between Manukau Harbour on the Tasman Sea and Waitemata Harbour on the Pacific Ocean — one of the few major cities to have harbors on two significant bodies of water. Auckland is popularly known as the City of Sails, as its citizens own more yachts and launches per capita than any other city in the world. Westhaven Marina is the largest recreational marina in the entire Southern Hemisphere. The city also offers ample natural appeal, with sandy beaches, verdant volcanic cones and urban green spaces.
