Baylys Beach is a coastal landform on the Pacific Ocean in the Northland Region of New Zealand. It lies within the Whangarei District, near the settlement of Baylys and the mouth of the Baylys River, approximately a few kilometres north of the town of Kaeo. The beach consists of a stretch of sand backed by low dunes and is part of the larger Baylys Peninsula that projects into the ocean.
The name “Baylys” is derived from an early European family that settled in the area during the 19th century; the beach takes its name from this local historical association. The site is accessed via local road networks that connect to State Highway 1, and it is used recreationally for activities such as walking and beachcombing.
Ecologically, the surrounding dunes and coastal habitats support typical Northland flora and provide habitat for native bird species, although specific conservation designations for Baylys Beach are not documented in major public sources.
No significant infrastructure or commercial development is present on the beach, and it remains a natural coastal environment within the region.
