One of the most beautiful beaches in New Zealand. Great place for surfing

Walk down the beach for 20 mins and you'll be in heaven. Deserted with surf not as fierce as Piha or Bethell's. Find some shade on the sand cliff and you're sorted.

Amazing black sand beach , very hot to stand on so watch out, and magnetic so watch your electronics , they'll attract sand easily.

Beautiful place in the summer and during the week when it’s not so busy.

Remember to visit the Gannets Colony in Muriwai that is not far from the beach . Gannets mating for life and will always mate with the same partner forever. Great spot for lovers. ;opRead and view Read more

A whole different world only 40 minutes away from Auckland. Go in November when the babies are newly hatched!

Awesome walk up to the Gannett 's colony . Great spot to lay in the sun or catch some easy waves!
