Muriwai, also called Muriwai Beach, is a coastal community on the west coast of the Auckland Region in the North Island of New Zealand. The black-sand surf beach and surrounding area is a popular recreational area for Aucklanders. The Muriwai Regional Park includes a nesting site for a large colony of gannets.[3]
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "water's end" for Muriwai.[4]
