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).
answ2. But bear in mind that these beaches are close to a major population centre. If you look for them, you can find dangerous ones.
BTW, you should catch on YouTube a recent vid of a couple of fishing boats crossing the Greymouth Bar in a storm. Probably "crossing the Greymouth Bar" or similar.
