About
Lion Rock is a rocky headland located on Piha Beach on the western coast of the Auckland Region in New Zealand. It is an eroded 16-million-year-old volcanic neck, named for its similarity to a lying male lion when viewed from the rear (shore side). Lion Rock is immediately visible to visitors as they descend along the only access road.
