With a spectacular view and it’s beautiful wildlife, Muriwai Beach is a must. This beautiful beach has black sand, caused by the ancient volcanoes in the area, the black sand is moved up the west coast of the North Island by the drift. For this reason it is a unique part of New Zealand that must not go unnoticed. Whether it be taking a bike ride around the trails, taking a road trip along the coast, or just taking a walk and having a dose of the ocean air Muriwai Beach will leave you speechless.
