Muriwai, also called Muriwai Beach, is a coastal community on the west coast of the Auckland Region in the North Island of New Zealand. The black-sand surf beach and surrounding area is a popular recreational area for Aucklanders. The Muriwai Regional Park includes a nesting site for a large colony of gannets.^[3]
About Muriwai Regional Park

The Muriwai area was uplifted from the sea floor between 3 and 5 million years ago. Much of the landscape is formed by remnants of the eastern side of the Waitākere Volcano, notably the pillow lava formations seen along the cliffs south of Muriwai beach.^[5] The area is primarily formed by sand, sedimentary rock and piha conglomerate. Cliff walls dominate much of southern Muriwai. Muriwai Beach has black sand, caused by the iron content derived from the ancient volcanoes in the area, including the large Kaipara Volcano which was situated offshore from the Kaipara Heads, and erupted 23-16 million years ago.^[6] The black sand is moved up the west coast of the North Island by longshore drift.

Andy Spence our Cut’n’Paste inventor worked at Muriwai Regional Park as the Senior Ranger Conservation for a time and enjoyed the wild weather, rugged coastline and the wonderful onshore Gannet Colony.

A windswept rugged coastline stretching 60km north showcases Muriwai’s spectacular black sand surf beaches. At its southern end, Otakamiro Point is the site of one of our few mainland gannet (takapu) breeding colonies.

This regional park boasts several trails that meander through native bush and stunning views from lookouts over the beach and gannet colony (seasonal).

There are barbeques, picnic tables, tennis courts, a playground and a small skate park available.
