Everything about Anawhata totally explained
Anawhata is a beach on the coast of New Zealand west of
Auckland.
Location
Distance from Auckland; 40km (50 minute drive). To the south of Anawhata is
Piha,
Karekare and
Whatipu. To the north is
Te Henga (Bethells Beach) and
Muriwai.
Access
It is one of the least used beaches in the area because there's a long and unsealed road to reach it, and a steep track from there down to the beach.
History
Local iwi (tribe) Te Kawerau a Maki occupied this area for hundreds of years, and many settlements and fortifications were established.
By 1870 Europeans had established farms and timber mills. A 14km tramway was built between Anawhata and Whatipu to transport Kauri logs.
Surfing
It has no surf patrol, and as with all the beaches west of Auckland, swimming isn't safe due to
rips.
Tramping
As far back as 1966 the
Auckland Tramping Club used the Anawhata stream for a day trip. Trampers were dropped off in the hills above the stream, and collected many hours later from the beach in an old bus.
