Piripiri Point is a coastal spot at Long Bay, about 20 kilometres north of Auckland. It holds a Google rating of 4.5 from 52 reviews, and reviewers often mention the walks, the views and the tides. The point sits within the Long Bay-Ōkura Marine Reserve.
The website describes sandy beaches, rocky reefs and mudflats protected within the reserve, with birds such as oystercatchers and terns. The reefs at either end of Long Bay are good for snorkelling, and visitors can launch kayaks from the beach. There is no boat ramp and no lifeguard, so swimmers should take care, especially in summer when the reserve can be busy.
For a coastal walk, a bird watch or a snorkel on Auckland's north shore, it is a spot worth a visit at Long Bay.
