Piha is a small coastal settlement located on the western coast of Auckland, New Zealand. Renowned for its stunning black sand beach, Piha is a popular destination for surfers and nature enthusiasts. The area is dominated by the striking Lion Rock, a volcanic monolith that offers panoramic views of the surrounding coastline. Piha is also known for its rugged landscape, lush native bush, and numerous walking tracks, including the famous Kitekite Falls. Despite its natural beauty, the beach is infamous for its strong rips and currents, requiring caution from swimmers.
