Just such a quiet serene beach. But the walkway between Murray’s and Mairangi is what makes this place just so beautiful. I enjoyed the walk on water experience at high tide. Stormy, low or high tide, early morning or late in the afternoon, the views are stunning.

Love this beach, it has toilets, an outdoor shower, a pier to jump off or fish, changing rooms available onsite. The beach is nice and sandy, there is also a smaller pond sheltered for the kiddies to swim on the right for safety. Our family had a picnic here and loved that all amenities were available and beach was close.. Found no issues here at all, it's clean to swim in and close to town. Will definitely be back and we'll down council and residents in the area keeping it clean

Murrays Bay Beach is a quiet beach. We went there on 3/2/2024 and enjoyed stroll along the beach. It worths a visit if you happen to drive on the North Shore.

Murray's Bay is a quiet and pretty landscape space. It's a place where you feel calm when you look at the sunrise in the morning, and when you see children sailing after school, you feel happy in the laughter. It's like my own hideout where you can buy coffee and look at the ocean

Beautiful spot but sadly looking a little closer you see pipes running straight into the water. There's a stream next to the beach full of scum with property pipes running straight into it. It was quite shocking.
