North Piha Beach

North Piha Beach stands as a majestic stretch of coastline, distinguished from its southern counterpart by the iconic Lion Rock that rises dramatically at its southern boundary. As the more expansive of Piha's two beaches, it offers a wilder, more secluded experience despite being slightly removed from the village center. Facing directly west, the beach captures spectacular sunsets as the sun dips into the Tasman Sea, painting the sky in vibrant hues each evening.

The untamed beauty of North Piha is punctuated by Lion Rock, a commanding natural landmark that serves as both a geographical divider and a stunning focal point, separating the two distinct sections of Piha's coastline. This ancient volcanic remnant stands as a silent guardian, watching over both beaches while providing a natural marker between these two distinct coastal environments.
