You should dedicated at least half a day to this trip. Odds are you'll rent a car to get here, so i'd recommend taking the time to enjoy the following things: black sand beach, views of Muriwai Colony, and the shoreline where powerful waves crash against the rugged rocks. Come here if you're looking for something outdoorsy to do in Auckland.

Muriwai Beach is a beautiful, black sand, windswept beach on Auckland's wild west coast.
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.
The ecological environment here is very good. It feels like a paradise for seabirds. The beaches and the rocks on the seaside are full of seabirds. People can't bear to disturb them on the beach.
