Mercer Bay Loop Walk | A Stunning West Coast Adventure 🌊✨

Calling all beginner hikers!

Pack water, sunscreen & a light jacket (windy up there!). Go at sunset for golden-hour magic! 🌅 🚗 After the hike? Drive 10 mins to Piha Beach! 🏖️ Black sand vibes + insane photo ops. 🍦 Must-try: Local ice cream shop’s BANANA flavour (with crunchy peanuts!) + their golden crispy chips. 🧺 Bonus: Bring a picnic, spread out, and soak in the coastal bliss. #AucklandHikes #PihaBeach #NZMustDo #WestCoastNZ #OceanViews #TravelNZ
