Muriwai Beach

This beach is more like a home for seabirds. Tourists here are just tourists. You will easily see patches of seabirds roosting here, and you can't bear to approach them to disturb them.

I don't think this beach is the most beautiful beach in Auckland, but it does feel that people and animals live in harmony with each other. You can see flocks of seabirds and some newly hatched seabirds.

Muriwai Beach in Auckland is also known as the black beach. The beaches on the coast here are gray-black, which has a completely different effect from the general white beach. In fact, the sand quality of the black beach is also very delicate, and it is also very soft when you step on it. There are not many tourists here. It is definitely a good place to take pictures.

Intensive phobias cautiously enter the bird island on the black sandy beach of Muriwai. Driving more than 40 kilometers from downtown Auckland, you can reach a coastal scenic spot in less than an hour. The locals call it Muriwai Beach, which is the best black sand beach in Auckland. The first time I saw the black sand beach was very special. In fact, except for the unusual color, it was just like the yellow sand beach. It is said that the formation of black sand beach was related to volcanism. The sand is not delicate, and I still prefer the white, delicate and soft beaches of the Maldives. This is rated as one of the top 30 beautiful scenery in the world. I think the main score may not be this black beach, but the rocks and habitats on the coast. There are hundreds and thousands of birds above ❗Really, overwhelming birds ❗Intensive phobias, be careful❗ However, when the sun sets in the evening, this free scenic spot is really a movie.
