After more than two months, Aucklanders can finally head back to their famous black sand surf beach, Piha.
Cyclone Gabrielle left a wave of destuction on the region's west coast, meaning only Piha residents have been allowed to enter.
Needless to say, there were a fair few happy surfers when the cordons were finally lifted this morning.
But this comes with a warning that restrictions could be re-introduced if bad weather causes any further damage to the roads.
Reporter Tom Taylor and camera operator Marika Khabazi have the story.
