The murawai grotto/big cave! Great place to visit. Just before low tide is best.

Be smart/safe here folks!

Muriwai Grotto is a rad spot on Auckland's West Coast with epic cliff-top trails and a massive gannet colony. It's the perfect place to soak up some fresh ocean air, check out the black sand beach, and maybe even catch a glimpse of those majestic birds doing their thing. Plus, you can hire blokarts, bikes, or kites for some extra fun in the sun. Just a 45-minute drive from Auckland CBD, Muriwai is a must-visit for anyone looking to chill by the sea and take in some stunning views.
