Plaže na Karekare

This beach, located north of Piha Beach, is incredibly beautiful and secluded, surrounded by hills and cliffs. On the north end of the beach, there is a large cave that offers a great opportunity for exploration. The beach has black sand, which can become scorching hot under the sun. It is advisable to wear sandals or shoes and bring a towel to sit on. Accessing this beach is not easy, but there are two ways to reach it from Piha. One option is to take the Marawhawa trail from north Piha road, located at the northern end of Piha Beach. After walking for approximately 10 minutes, you will reach the White trail, which will lead you to Whites Beach after a 45-minute hike. Alternatively, you can drive north on Piha road for about 10 minutes until you reach Anawhata road. Turn left onto Anawhata road and continue driving for approximately 20 minutes until you reach the Rose trail parking area. From there, it is a downhill walk of about 30 minutes to Whites Beach. Although the steep walk back up may be a bit longer and more challenging, it is definitely worth it!

Neverjetno lepa plaža! Slap Karekare je od parkirišča oddaljen le 5 minut hoje. Cesta, ki vodi do plaže, je prijetno ovinkasta, zato je priporočljivo voziti umirjeno, saj nasproti vozeča vozila v ovinkih morda ne bodo vidna.

This beach is truly amazing. The car park is quite small, as is the alternative one. However, there are plenty of places to play and seek shelter from the sun. The picnic spots are absolutely beautiful. It's important to be cautious of the Pacific Ocean waters, as is typical of the West Coast. My favorite find was the oyster heart 😊.
