Muriwai
Muriwai - also called Muriwai Beach - is a coastal resort in northern New Zealand. It is located 35 kilometres west of Auckland city centre, at the southern end of an unbroken 50 kilometre stretch of beach which extends up the Tasman Sea coast to the mouth of the Kaipara Harbour.
One of several popular resorts in the area (others include Piha and Karekare), it experiences a population explosion in summer when Aucklanders head to the sea. Despite this, the area has retained much of its natural beauty and isolation.
Much of the land at the southern end of the beach is part of the Muriwai Beach Regional Park.
