Piha on Auckland's wild west coast has been judged the country's most dangerous beach, based on the number of rescues carried out by lifeguards there.
Since 2000 there have been 1416 rescues performed at the beach, which is famed for its pounding surf, treacherous rips - and in recent years for its starring role in the reality TV show Piha Rescue.
Piha was closely followed by its west coast neighbour Muriwai (1219 rescues). The Auckland pair were well ahead of the next two on the danger list - Mt Maunganui (830) and Whangamata (759).

There are several black sand beaches in NZ. The most famous would be Piha. The beaches along the west coast of the North Island above Mt Taranaki have black sand due to iron rich sediment being washed out from around the volcano. These include: Bethells, Muriwai, Karekare, Whatipu, Piha and the little ones in between like White's, Maori Bay etc.
