We headed over the mountains just in time to miss our first view of the spectacular bay of Piha, sadly the sun had just set. A huge beach that was split in the middle by a large rock called the Lion Rock, as it resembled a seated lion. We stayed for a couple of nights on a great campsite just on the beach. The surf was huge and the bay was prone to very strong currents. I (John), surfed the northern part of the beach next to a rock called Camel Rock (yes it looked like a camel). It was a bit of a nervy surf due to the wave size and strong currents but I managed to get a few waves. The sand on the west side of the Island is black due to volcano eruptions. We saw a great sunset on this bay.
