There is no public transport to this beach, so hope on this tour.

Piha is probably New Zealand's best-known beach, and it has a reputation for awesome surf. It was the birthplace of New Zealand board riding in 1956 and has been the scene of both New Zealand national and international surfing championship competitions.

This black ironsand beach is notorious for its rips and currents, and so it is certainly recommended novices stay between the red and yellow flags and within their limits. Two Surf Lifesaving Clubs provide surf patrols in summer.
