The sun filters through the clouds sending a brilliant reflection off the waves which crash onto Piha Beach near Auckland, New Zealand where a family enjoys the water while on vacation.

The waves lap onto the sandy shores at Piha Beach near Auckland, New Zealand as a family on vacation enjoys a walk with their dog on a summer day. Piha Beach is made up of black iron sand and during the summer days, the sand can be extremely hot to walk on so it is best to have shoes close by or stay along the water's edge like this family.

Piha Beach is a famous place for its surf where competitions have taken place, but many vow to never surf here again due to the power of the rips and currents. Swimming areas are patrolled along the beach and at low tide, hidden beaches appear on both the northern end and southern end of Piha Beach.
