Located at the southern end of Muriwai Beach is Maori Bay. A small bay with a nice surf break. It is also a popular launch site for Paragliders. To the north end of the bay is a Gannet colony, one of only 2 on Mainland New Zealand. There are viewing platforms that allow you very close to these amazing (and very fishy smelling) birds. On the ground you have to wonder about them and their ungainly movements, but in the air they are matchless flyers.

Access just off Waitea Road, there is a walk track to the Gannet Colony and viewing platforms. The nesting birds can be seen very close. To the north is Muriwai Beach. The large flat rock at the base of the cliff is Fishermen rock.. guess why...? Care needs to be taken as large waves frequently break over the rock.
