From Anawhata Road, you can walk to Te Waha Point (at the north end of Piha) and Whites Beach down a steep vehicle right of way. The access is just a few metres west of the access point for White Track, which takes you down to North Piha.
The view is superb all the way down, and the right-of-way also links White Track with Laird Thomson Track about 3/4 of the way down. This link creates an excellent loop that starts and ends at North Piha, with Laird Thomson crossing Te Waha Point to get back to Piha. Alternatively, head right to relatively remote Whites Beach.
