Thursday's Reflections – Muriwai Beach

by Pamela Moresby June 13, 2019, 7:05 am 193 Views 15 Votes 18 Comments

Muriwai Beach at West Auckland and the sea is the Tasman sea between New Zealand and Australia. By boat Auckland takes 4 days travelling. The sea is treacherous…

Yet, Gannets often cross the Tasman sea.

Here are some reflections of Muriwai Beach. The Thumbnail is 2 people walking dogs.

West Coast Beaches in New Zealand is dangerous to swim in any of these beaches but most can swim between the flags where lifeguards are watching.

Mostly you are safe if you take care, and it just isn’t worth it to be reckless.

I am on a cliff looking down on the beach.

#3 Looking at Muriwai Gannet Colony from Maori Bay

You climb down a very steep cliff to get to Maori Bay. You need to watch your ankles climbing over very unstable rocks.

In what sense are dangerous bathing beaches.
Strong underwater currents, sharks or something else?

I do not know if I would swim here in the sea, but definitely the view is wonderful. You just have to enjoy it here.

  Generally you are safe if you swim between the flags and don’t go out over your head. Thanks Marija.

The pictures are really nice, dear Pamela … why is it dangerous to dig … are sharks?

  Muriwai is not dangerous to dig in the sand….The currents of the West coast are very strong….most people who drown are pulled out by rips.
  A rip is a place in the water where people get pulled out to sea.
  Then they panic because they cant get back to land and the current is too strong…
