Amazing black sand beach, with silica particles which glow in the sun. The many surfers trying to ride the waves complete the view. At low tide, take a walk to the left of the beach towards the big rocks, to see the spectacular performance of big waves hitting the rocks.
Piha Beach is a MUST See! The black sand is amazing! It feels like a spongy like texture under your feet as you walk along the beach. Make your way up Te Piha’s Lion Mountain...have your mini picnic there after you’ve climbed all the way up. It’s a beautiful sight to see across the horizon and down to the black sand beach.
