"Following the track from the Tasman Lookout you will eventually get to The Blue Pool. A beautiful small bay, almost fully closed off from the ocean with waves swapping in through a small opening and over the lower rocks. The track offers a great view down there and on all the beautiful rock formations around. During low tide you can walk down there and walk back to Piha over the beach which is really recommendable."

The Beauty of Auckland's West Coast - New Zealand

Auckland's West Coast is often overlooked by travellers as you need a car to reach it and explore everything. When I visited, it exceeded my expectations and I fell in love with this rugged and wild coastline. The West Coast is part of the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park and is home to stunning black sand beaches, lush rainforest with waterfalls, one of NZ's most popular surf beaches and a gannet colony. It is not far from Auckland but you will feel like entering a completely different world. This remote and untamed region is more than worth a visit and will for sure casts its spell over you. A magical place that you should not miss out on and that can also be explored on a day trip if you have a tight schedule. I'd also be grateful for any support in the way of: 🌺subscribing to my page 🌺sharing this guide 🌺saving this guide 🌺leaving a review THANK YOU SO MUCH!
