Kaiaua / Miranda - Seabird Coast

Miranda and Kaiaua - click to enlargeSeabird Coast, Kaiaua and Miranda with its world renowned Chenier shell banks, is the summer home to a variety of migratory Arctic wading birds including the Wrybil which is found here all year round. A relaxing soak in mineral hot springs at Miranda is the perfect way to end your day before enjoying delicious fish and chips at Kaiaua, a favourite of locals and Aucklanders. Dotted along the coast you will find craft outlets and produce stalls just waiting to be discovered.  Visit the Rangipo Museum, situated 1 mile south of Kaiaua.  A century old handsawn Kauri woolshed museum.  Original hand tools, artefacts and equipment from Rangipo station.  Fascinating historic information about the area.
