Mission Bay is open for swimming again - with water quality tests deeming the popular Auckland spot safe for beachgoers.
Earlier this week, Auckland Council had advised against going into the water after tests showed high levels of enterococci bacteria, which feed off faeces.
Signs were erected at the beach on Wednesday evening warning people about swimming and collecting shellfish from the beach.
The problematic test results were from regular weekly water quality testing, carried out at all of Auckland's 63 beaches.
None of the results from any of the other beaches had come up positive, the council said.
