Muriwai Beach

Visited Muriwai Beach recently and honestly, it’s one of those places that just stays with you. The black sand, the sound of the waves crashing and that fresh coastal breeze ;everything about it feels so raw and peaceful at the same time. It’s not your typical beach and that’s what makes it special. There’s something really calming about just walking along the shore, watching the waves roll in and taking a moment to slow down from everything else. The views are stunning, especially around sunset. The sky, the ocean, and the open space all come together so beautifully. it just puts you in a good headspace. If you’re looking for a place to relax, clear your mind or just enjoy nature, this is definitely worth the drive. Such a gem out west 👍🌅

Muriwai beach is on another level!! The black sand? Unreal. The cliffs? Breathtaking. The waves crashing against the shore? Pure power. This place feels wild, dramatic, and absolutely cinematic. Walking along the beach with that ocean breeze hitting your face is an instant reset for the soul. And the gannet colony? Iconic. Watching them glide over the cliffs is something you don’t see every day. Hands down one of the most epic beaches in Auckland. 5/5 without hesitation.
