Just a short drive from Auckland, Miranda is a globally significant feeding ground for thousands of migratory and native shorebirds. Witness immense flocks of Lesser Knots and Bar-tailed Godwits on their epic journeys, alongside huge numbers of South Island Pied Oystercatchers and unique Wrybills. The Miranda Shorebird Centre offers excellent insights into this incredible avian spectacle. Beyond the birds, explore Miranda's unique shoreline. It is considered the finest example in the world of an active sand and chenier plain. The Hunua ranges to the east mark the original shoreline about 4000 years ago, and since then, continuous tidal and wind action have deposited shell ridges to form the land or coastal plain you see today.
