Piha Video, Photo and Events

About Piha

Piha is a black-sand surf beach on Auckland’s west coast, reached by a winding road over the Waitākere Ranges. Lion Rock divides the beach, and the coast is known for big surf and strong currents.

For a shoot

Black sand, Lion Rock, surf, cliffs and dramatic west coast light make it a striking location for film and photography.

For an event

Small coastal properties suit elopements, intimate weddings and gatherings that want a wild setting, planned around weather and access.

Who is here

A small coastal community with surf lifesaving and visitor activity, and most visitors coming out from the city for the day.

Billie is part of Hemara Group, which is headquartered in Auckland, so shoots in Piha need no travel.
