Muriwai Regional Park, Regional park in Auckland Region, New Zealand
Located on the western coast of New Zealand's North Island, Muriwai Regional Park covers 1,000 hectares of black sand beaches and coastal cliffs along the Tasman Sea.
The area was designated as a public domain at Motutara in 1906 before receiving official regional park status in 1969 to protect the coastal environment.
The park holds deep connections to Maori heritage, with various locations throughout the grounds reflecting the history of New Zealand's indigenous inhabitants.
Visitors can access numerous walking trails, including the Maukatia Gannet Track, which extends 1.3 kilometers and takes approximately 25 minutes to complete.
The park contains the Auckland Region's only Australasian gannet colony at Otakamiro Point, recognized as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International.
