Another beautiful isolated beach north of Piha! It’s not terribly difficult to access, but hiking down to the beach and back up can be a little strenuous. To get to this beach, turn off of Piha Road onto Anawhata Road and drive to the very end. It’s mostly gravel road and it will take 20 or 25 minutes. At the end is an overlook, a parking area, and the trailhead going down to the beach. It takes about 30 minutes to walk down to the beach, and a little longer coming back up. The beach has black sand that can be very hot in the sunshine, so wear shoes or sandals, and take a beach towel or blanket with you. The effort of getting to these isolated beaches is always worth it to enjoy the seclusion and the natural beauty!

We have been to all beaches west of Auckland from Whatipu to Muriwai. This is one of the most beautiful and wildest beach, with nearly nobody. A gem as other contributors wrote. The access road to is small, 8 km long, without tarmac but praticable. This likely explain that only few will go. And the end of the road you find the pedestrian trial to the beach. It takes 10 to 15 mn to go down. It is steepy and would be difficult only for elderly or disabled people. It is really worth to go. There is not surveillance: swimming and surfing are not recommended On the road way, you may stop a few hundred meters before to go to the White Beach. The pedestrian access is more difficult and the view is less a pleasure.

Anawhata Beach 1.Very Dangerous metal dirt track to this beach. 2. No walls or barriers at the side of the road where there is a straight drop over the edge of the road where persons and their cars can fall 100 plus meters to their death. 3. When getting to the end of the road there is a further walk of about 30 minutes. Again no safety items such as a "free call telephones" to get help since mobile signal is out in this bush area. RECOMMENDATION Don't risk your life by going there. Auckland has so many beaches where you don't have to risk your life to to get to the beach.

One of the most beautiful yet aggressive beaches I've come across. A generously wider beach which spans a good 100m or so into the land and quite strange to blackish west Auckland beaches, this one has 'golden' sand...!! However, be careful reaching this lovely beach - you will be driving on a very narrow, winding, gravel road for about 20km, some places wide enough for just one vehicle only. And with heaps of sharp bends. !! At the end of the road there is a car park but you still need to walk about 2km further down on a steep, gravel road to access the beach. This is yet another typical rough west Auckland beach, is not patrolled, with so many rips and currents, swimming is...
