Randwick Park is inland: the typical title is 2.2 km from the sea or harbour edge, and fewer than 1 in 2,000 titles are within 1 km of it.

Measured in a straight line from the centre of each title's land to the coastline on LINZ's 1:50k topographic map, which follows harbours and estuaries as well as the open coast; lakes and rivers are not included. Distance says nothing about beach access, views or exposure to coastal hazards; council hazard maps and the LIM describe those.
