This beautiful black sand beach might just have some of the most stunning sunsets in Auckland.

Piha Beach is located on the west coast of the North Island, and is known for its untamed surf and rugged landscape.

With its Maori name meaning "divided ripple," Piha offers a unique coastal oasis just a short drive from Auckland. Visitors can enjoy sunbathing, surfing, exploring nearby rainforests, and taking in the breathtaking views of the Tasman Sea. Whether you're a nature lover, a beach bum, or an avid surfer, Piha Beach has something for everyone to enjoy!

Extra info:

  • Distance: 100m from carpark

  • Walk time: approx 3 mins

  • To find the spot in the photos, head to south piha beach keeping Lion Rock to your right
