This coastal walk near Piha is truly amazing. It takes about 45 minutes to drive there from Auckland. As you walk through the native forest, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the coast on your way to the secluded Whites Beach. To access the beach, it's best to combine the Marawhara trail, starting at North Piha near the surf lifesaving club, with Whites Track. This route will take you about 40-60 minutes and involves some climbing on a well-maintained trail. From there, it's a pleasant 30-minute downhill walk to Whites Beach. If you want to return, you can take the Laird Thomson Track, which will lead you back to North Piha and also includes the Te Waha Point Lookout. However, it's important to note that swimming is not advised at this beach due to its dangerous surf, strong riptides, and hidden rocks.
Anawhata路旁隐藏着一个美丽的海滩。景色绝对惊艳,但值得注意的是下坡路很陡,而上坡更具挑战性。不过,努力绝对是值得的,因为这里的景色令人难以置信。
