Black sand Beach in Auckland

This was the first time I had the opportunity to see a beach with black sand and is just a short drive away from Auckland city. The place is often empty and the water is cold so not many people swim in the sea, there's a big rock to climb and take view of the beach, like in the second picture. #2023travelwish #tripblazers #beachlife #campingglamping #本地遊 #summervacation #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #passionpassport #auckland #newzeland #beach #beachtime #summerdays #kiwi

Rocks and Sea

Piha Beach is such a wonderful beach with fine jet black sand that feels great to walk through. It is dominated by Lion Rock an extinct Volcanic plug. The waves come crashing in and it is a good beach for surfing but for swimming I would advise swimming where the lifeguards are as there can be currents. Well worth a visit. #awesomepic #fallingforfall #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers

Famous surf beach in Auckland!

Located 45mins away from the downtown of Auckland, Piha beach is a famous beach known for the ideal wave conditions for surfing and also the black sand with panoramic views. Also shown in the photo, the large stone formation is named the Lion Rock which is Piha’s most iconic landmark. For those who are adventurous, you can also climb up the lion rock for a spectacular view of the beach in every directions. The beach is perfect for those looking to surf, surf classes are also available. But if not, it serves as a wonderful place to picnic while enjoying the amazing scenery the beach has to offer.

When I arrived in Auckland in the morning, after staying at the hotel, my friends were not sleepy. After lunch break, we drove to Bird Island, which is more than 50 kilometers from Auckland, small science: mu Muriwai and Piha, two beaches connected to the outskirts of Auckland, New Zealand, Muriwai is known as the seabird island, one of the few gannet habitats in the world; Piha Black Beach It is famous for its rare black sand beaches, and is famous for its "Piano Love" movie at the 46th Cannes Film Festival Golden Palm Awards. The beautiful beaches have been hailed by the National Geographic magazine as one of the top 30 beauty in the world. Winter there are not many birds here, but the beach is really black and black, stepping on the soft, a lot of surfers, I am shaking and looking at it in the evening. The temperature is only about 8 degrees. Bird Island (Muriwai, Muriwai) is located 45 kilometers west of Auckland and climbs to a nearby hilltop where you can see the Gannet Watchtower. Since we didnt have a lot of birds at the time, we went straight to the black beach to watch the sunset.
