Beach

A fun area to explore when visiting Piha. (its a walk to your left as you enter the beach)

The distinctive tunnel through Camel Rock is called the Keyhole, although the Maori name for the island itself – Taitomo – means a cave through a rock. The Keyhole surges with water but provides a passage from Puaotetai Bay to fishing rocks facing Piha Beach.

The Gap, the blue pools, the tunnel, the caves and the gap!

Please be wary of tides as Piha can be a dangerous beach
