Medlands Beach is a location on the east coast of Great Barrier Island in the Auckland Region of New Zealand.

[4] The small settlement of Medlands consists of permanent houses and holiday baches, some behind the dunes, sheltered from winds from the sea, and others elevated for a view.

Sugar Loaf hill offers great views of the beach but is a privately owned farm with cattle and bulls and cannot be climbed without permission from the landowners - the Blackwells.

It has a small stream with several pāteke (brown teal ducks)[3] and a Department of Conservation campsite which can host up to 120 people from Christmas until mid-February.

[6] In November 1888, photographer Henry Winkelmann purchased 200 acres (81 ha) at Medlands Beach, naming the property Ti Tree Flat.

It is a 4-kilometre drive from Great Barrier Aerodrome and Claris, which has a general store, a New Zealand Post shop, a petrol station and other facilities.

The results were 91.4% European (Pākehā); 8.6% Māori; 2.9% Asian; and 2.9% Middle Eastern, Latin American and African New Zealanders (MELAA).
