Why is piha beach so popular?

Piha Beach is popular for so many reasons. It is one of the top surfing beaches in New Zealand and attracts some of the worlds top surfers. It is exciting to swim in in the sea as long as you swim inside the lifeguard flags. Its great for body surfing and body boarding. It is only 45 minutes drive from Auckland but you would not know it because you have a gorgeous drive through the Waitakere Heritage Park to get to it. The trees in the bush are magnificent and although it is a road with lots of bends, it is very well sealed and easy driving so long as you stay on the left! There are over 100 tracks if you like to tramp in the bush and the Hilary Trail runs through Piha. The Piha Cafe is fantastic with great coffee and delicious food. There are a few accommodation places - Black Sands Lodge is right down by the beach and is private and beautifully set in a lovely native garden. That is the best and closest to the beach. There is black sand on the beach which is different and the rock formation is all lava flow. My suggestion is not to stay in the city, but make your base in Piha.
