Muriwai is famous for its black sand and moody west coast beach spirit. You can walk for miles or arrange a horseback ride. There is a good cafe there as well if you want a morning beach walk followed by breakfast. 35 mins away
Great place to visit and get a fruit berry ice cream on the way. Visit the gannet colony, swim, surf, fish.
From August to March each year you can watch the comings and goings of a busy gannet colony. It's hugely entertaining. Muriwai's gannet colony is a one hour drive from the centre of Auckland. Next to the car park, a short walking track leads to a viewing platform right above the main colony area. Out to sea, the colony continues on two vertical-sided islands. About 1,200 pairs of gannets nest here from August to March each year. The views from the colony are very impressive. Muriwai Beach extends 60 kilometres to the north - a line of black sand between the thundering surf and the sand hills. Far below, enthusiastic surfers look like seals on the large ocean swells.
