Piha is one of the most popular beaches on Auckland’s wild west coast. Yet with its vast stretch of dramatic, black sand it always feels wonderfully isolated and uncrowded. The wild surf at Piha Beach draws seasoned surfers and it’s also a great swimming spot in summer. Piha Surf Rescue is filmed here.
