A surf lifesaving club on Muriwai Beach, on Auckland's west coast at Jack Butt Lane. The Muriwai Beach Surf Life Saving Club was formed on 30 July 1948 with 19 foundation members, and it runs a patrolled swimming area. The club also takes bookings for its clubhouse accommodation through its bookings email.
Muriwai has wildlife close to the beach. A New Zealand fur seal colony is on Oaia Island, and little blue penguins nest at Maori Bay. An Australasian gannet colony is at Otakamiro Point, and the birds are in residence from August to February each year.
In an emergency, the site says to call 111 and ask for the Police, who will call out the Muriwai lifeguards if needed.
