Nice spot to take a walk and maybe a chat with the locals. A great example of a black sand beach. Plenty of parking and very close to downtown New Plymouth.
A NP local recommended that Back Beach was a good place to watch the sunset and he was not wrong. Beautiful raw red sunset. The black beach sand was another novelty for us.
Awesome
Totally recommend running down the sand dune to the beach. It is quite steep and the sand was hot so don't stop.

Cool sand slide
Cool sand slide. Nice walk along the beach at low tide. Parking available at the top and good stairs to the beach.
Black sand, red sunset

Great place to watch the sunset and birds
Great place to sit and watch the sunset and the birds flocking over to the small loafs. Sitting right on top of a beach which is popular with surfers.
