Piha is New Zealand's most famous surf beach. Situated on the west coast of the North Island, 40 km from the city of Auckland, this black iron-sand beach has a reputation for awesome surf which rolls in over the Tasman Sea.
Piha was the birthplace of New Zealand board riding in 1958 and has been the scene of both New Zealand national and international surfing championship competitions.
A laid-back seaside village 45 minutes west of Auckland city, Piha is popular with local kiwis - especially in the summertime.
Piha Beach was the setting for a popular New Zealand reality television show. Aptly named "Piha Rescue", it ran for 12 series over 14 years on TV1 and it featured the lives of the surf lifesavers at Piha Beach and educated the public on the beach safety, rip currents, and swimming between the flags.

Lion Rock is a natural formation dividing North and South Piha Beaches. It is an eroded 16-million-year-old volcanic neck, named for its similarity to a lying male lion when viewed from the rear (shore side), Lion Rock is immediately visible to visitors as they descend along the only access road. Lion Rock has become iconic not only of Piha but of Auckland's West Coast in general. It was featured on stamps as well as an Auckland phone book. In December 1919 a memorial to local sawmillers who served in World War One was unveiled on Lion Rock.
