Piha, Karekare and Whatipu are to the south of Anawhata. To the north are Te Henga (Bethells Beach) and Muriwai.
Anawhata was milled as part of Piha 's operation. A tramway was constructed from the Piha Mill to the bottom of the hill, to the bottom of the White Road. Indeed, the Marawhara Walk parallels the old stretch of the tramway. This was the route used by the little Dub generator, the A196. The incline ended near the homestead of Craw.
Pole Line Track and Quarry Track can take you downhill to the McKenzie and Forbes Lines, then to the Piha Valley Track. The Centennial Track, which takes you down rugged steps to the Piha Valley Track, is among Piha's most emblematic tracks. At the peak of the Quarry and Centennial is the McElwain Lookout, a high-pitched structure. From here, you can look down to Piha over the interior of the Ranges.
You can get to Anawhata by taking the Anawhata Road turnoff from about half way along the Piha Rd. it is a pretty, winding, metal road through forest then along the high ridge above Whites to a trailhead. Then it’s a 20 to 30 minute steep walk down to the beach. There is a particularly amazing viewpoint on the cliffs above the beach about a third of the way down, so try not to miss it.⠀
⠀
There is a camping ground near the end of the road and you can rent one of a couple of houses you can see as you head down. They are managed by the Auckland City regional park service.⠀
⠀
If there are more than a few people there, you just got unlucky …⠀
⠀
You can also hike from Whites to Anawhata if you really like hill climbs!⠀

Around a third of kiwis live in Auckland. We are all being exhorted to visit other parts of NZ rather than taking our regular trips to Australia, the Pacific Islands and the rest of the world. And, for sure, a high proportion of Aucklanders have never been to the Sth Island - it’s about time they did!⠀
⠀
But … Auckland has plenty of fabulous things to do as well and it’s time other kiwis sat up and realised that it is more than an excessively busy place to go shopping and eating.⠀
⠀
We are starting with a quick review of the black sand surf beaches on the west coast of the Waitakere Ranges, easily the most interesting Auckland region for outdoor lovers. Although most of the hiking is presently closed due to kauri dieback disease, it is still the most scenic part of Auckland to visit, and one of the most rugged and scenic surf beaches in NZ. In order of the pics - Whatipu, Karekare, Piha, Whites Beach, Anawhata and Te Henga.⠀
⠀
Being west coast beaches, also great places to watch the sunset (pics 5, 8 and 10).⠀

Lake Waimanu is another unique place to visit in the Waitakere region. You can access it from a small carpark immediately before entering Te Henga. It is an amazing experience as you either walk over a giant sand dune, or around it along a stream that follows the north side of the dune. At the end of the dune is the lake, with the dune effectively acting as a dam. The best swimming is from the edge of the dune.⠀
⠀
You can also hike for about an hour around the lake. There is a modest waterfall at the far eastern end.⠀

Whites, to the north of Piha is a true gem on the west coast. There is no direct road access so you need to walk in on relatively steep paths.⠀
⠀
Whites is accessible from North Piha by crossing over Te Waha Point. The track entrance is a bit obscure but there is a sign on the edge of the forest at the north end of the beach. It is a reasonably steep climb up to the point, with amazing views back to Piha and of Whites. Try and be there as the sun goes down!⠀
⠀
There is an easy but longer track down to Whites from Te Waha, or take the less obvious “goat” track across the face of the point until you find a guide chain. Then follow the chain down to the edge of the beach (pics 9 and 10). Much quicker and more exciting than the main track, and only a bit scary. Note that it may not be doable at high tide.⠀
⠀
You probably shouldn’t swim there as it’s unpatrolled, but people do …⠀

Piha is top weekend destination for Aucklanders on the west coast, but small with a few cafes and shops. There is a campground and a reasonable amount of other accommodation. Given how amazingly beautiful it is, it continues to surprise at how traditionally kiwi it still looks. ⠀
⠀
It is surrounded by high hills, cliffs and forest with some of the best surfing in the North Island. If you want to swim, the surf patrol area is at the south end of the beach near Lion Rock. Like all west coast beaches, it is not safe outside the flags. Sunset is a great time to be there, and several early evening and sunset shots are included in the series.⠀
⠀
For a cool walk, find the track that goes from near the end of the beach at North Piha, then hike over the point to much smaller Whites Beach. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes each way. The view back to Piha is in pic 7.⠀
⠀
There are some other great walks from around Piha such as the Kitekite Falls and Mercer Bay, but we will cover these another time.⠀

Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try 🙌
Well yeah I kind of tried to drone that gap behind me and sent it straight into rock face 😬😆 But I'll be back to conquer it. I left it crashed on the little island for a week because of the water being so rough / not having gear on me at the time, stoked it was still there 🤟👏
Te Henga (Bethells Beach) is a wide, long black sand surf beach. You need a vehicle to get there and it takes an hour from central Auckland. Access is from the end of Scenic Drive, with a turn off to Bethells Rd. Or along the Western Motorway to Massey, then to Waitakere (town) onto Bethells Road. There is a reasonable amount of accommodation around Te Henga but no camping.⠀
⠀
At the south end of the beach is a large sea cave but the north end has access to more interesting walking and exploring options, including the Te Henga Walkway which follows the coast cliffs to Muriwai (allow over 3 hours one way). A short alternative is cross the Waitakere River (easy on the beach at low tide) then walk down towards Erangi Point. Cross over on the sand dune to O’Neill Bay for a more private beach experience. ⠀
⠀
Sunset is amazing at Bethells, so try to make that work with your timing. Best sunset shots in this series are at the end.⠀

Shot on West Auckand's volcanic black sand, as the low winter sun bounced off ripples the tide once carved. Highlighting the cracks and reminding me of an important life analogy. It's so easy to get caught up skimming the surface, but forever learning to appreciate each nook and cranny more often. Delving deeper in to the roots, in order to distinguish the hobbies that aid to overall purpose 🕵️♀️
Исследователи проанализировали, какие фотографии в профиле больше и меньше всего привлекают противоположный пол. 💏 Для этого они оценили 1000 случайных фотографий по 35 признакам: видны ли зубы человека, когда он улыбается😬, смотрит он в кадр или в сторону😏, сам себя фотографировал или нет 👺и так далее.
.
Наибольшие шансы на успех у девушек, которые не смотрят в кадр и при этом улыбаются, демонстрируя зубы. С молодыми людьми другая ситуация — отводить взгляд и широко улыбаться им не стоит. Универсальное правило, согласно исследованию — размещать в профиле фотографии, на которых вы одни. 💃🏿
.
Самым простым способом привлечь к себе внимание оказались старомодные чёрно-белые фотографии☑. Такие снимки повышают привлекательность как мужчин, так и женщин, на 106%.
