Another beautiful spot in New Zealand. Muriwai beach is a one huge black sand beach. It's a popular place to surf because of it's big waves but people must be aware of strong rips & sharks, life guards are only there during summer time. Also, we had an amazing up close experience with the birds nesting gannets, it's a short walk from the beach. Such a great view even though the smell is not so great but I can say it is worth the climb!
