While I was at Piha late last year I drove a bit further around the coast
to Karekare, another of the West Coast beaches to the north of Auckland.
Just inland there is a fabulous waterfall. The view from the road is
good, but the short walk down to the foot of the falls is well worth the
effort.
The big shock after Australia is how lush and green the scenery is even in
New Zealand summer. But then when you see, or feel, how much rain they
get it’s hardly surprising.
From Karekare south there is a long (about 15km), wide beach all the way
down to Whatipu, at the entrance to Manukau harbour.
