This is taken on sunny winter day and will be pack with beach goers during the coming summer months, hope to return this spot and sharing with you all with the beach full of surfers and people enjoying the hot summer sun!

Hello Tony,
Very good high POV to show us all those rolling waves. Their colour contrasts nice with the darker see and the brown rocks.
Very beautiful.

Beautiful rolling waves, a very good POV form the Lions Rock with cloudless skies and natural colours. I watch that Piha rescue on Monday nights and the lifeguards have a tough time out there in the summer.

Hello Ho, a good POV of this beautiful beach.The sunlight on the sea highlights the white crested waves.
The black sand is interesting,I have never been to a beach like this.
And yes I can see the shadow of the Lion rock.

Hi Tony,
It's another gorgeous view of that beautiful coast that never ceases to amaze me and it's clearly a photographic paradise. As usual, great POV/compo, impeccable clarity and colours. Congratulations.

Hi Tony,
Your photos always make me dream about long walks along the sea, enjoying nature, fresh air and listening to the noise made by the waves.
Thank you :-)
I like your composition although I have very small regret : as far as I am concerned, I would have kept more vegetation on the right, or tried not to frame it :-)
Anyway, it is very pleasant.
Regards,
Marianne

Hi Tony,
Love the fantastic lines and textures left by the retreating surf on this lovely hidden beach.
The reflections on the wet sands is stunning as is the colors contrast of the lush green rocks and lovely cloudless blue sky.
This is a breathtaking coastal image.

Beaucoup de bleu et de vert, très nature.

Hi Tony,
must be a wonderful place to jsut relax, do nothing, but watch the waves. Seems like you always have nice weather in NZ, since you always have a wonderful blue sky in your images. The composition is also ncie with the plants on the right to create a good depth of field. Very nice!
Take care

Hello my dear friend Tony:
Again a landscape coastal marine splendour. The game foam that forms the waves arriving at the beach and die, they form a pleasing composition in sight.
The rock formations, accompanied by the natural beauty of the spectacular hues, set a dream scenario.

Hi Tony,
The place looks almost familiar to me now!!... Here a new POV from above giving a wide view of the beach too. The power of the ocean is visible by the length of the waves! Clear winter light gave superb colors, and sharpness is spot on, as usual!

Hi Tony,
a countless number of coming waves creating lines of white foam in the blue. Well framed also in natural by the rock, a lovely bay also from this high POV with a wider view. The wet beach is still amazing in its reflection.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Tony,
A great view over the coastline towards the cliffs at the other side. The light is very pleasant and creates pleasant, natural colours. The sea looks nice too with all those approaching waves. Well seen and captured!

Hello Tony,
I can feel the excitement in your notes about the forthcoming summer! Sadly, we have winter to look forward to, after having suffered a witer-like summer. Sorry, I mustn't winge. Perhaps the winter will be more summery!
This is a beautiful coastal view, the warm-looking blue sea ringed by the rugged greenery of the hills.
I particularly like the blue sand where the sky is reflected in the wetness.
The gently breaking waves add a peace and contentment to the mood.
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hey Tony,
Been quite a while, didn`t have enough energy to post (or criticize:) much. Hope you are faring well. :)
Amazing NZ scenery, with the perfect beach for swimming, or just relaxing. Although I doubt I`d be relaxing much there, too busy exploring and taking it all in.
Technically perfect.
Congrats once more and be seeing you around.

Hello Tony!
Out of all the pictures you have taken in this beautiful beach, this is my favorite one, because of the high pov I could have a general view of the place and I really like it!
The shapes of the cliffs and the waves of the sea are very interesting and nice!
TFS - Congratulations!
Best regards,

Hello Tony,
observing your pictures and those of Paul (bakes888) I doubt seriously if it is possible to shoot a bad photo in New Zealand. (Finally I have found some at other photographers.) The curiousity of black sand (I have never touched) is enhanced by the white foam of waves that also fill up the picture with dynamism. I am glad to have the chance to see them - at least on a goo photo.
Thanks and best whishes
Laszlo

Hi Tony!
Beautiful beach! Very nice point of view! Nice lights and I like all the waves. I spent just one night at Auckland and a couple of others in Rotorua, so when I see your photos I see what I've missed. ;-/
